The MSV sheaf conjecture for Gorenstein toroidal varieties
The MSV sheaf conjecture for Gorenstein toroidal varieties
Let be a variety with only Gorenstein toroidal singularities. Let denote the proposed sheaf of string-differential forms, locally modeled on the product of the corresponding sheaves for an open ball and for a singularity. Its component carries a grading and a differential generalizing the de Rham differential, and its hypercohomology is the associated string cohomology.
MSV sheaf conjecture. For every variety with only Gorenstein toroidal singularities, there exists a local sheaf locally isomorphic to the product of and . The construction depends on the parameters and perhaps on other structures yet to be determined. The sheaf has the structure of a sheaf of conformal vertex algebras, with an structure if is Calabi--Yau. The hypercohomology of its complex has dimensions prescribed by the cited results and possesses a pure Hodge structure if is projective.
The conjecture aims to construct a generalized chiral de Rham-type sheaf on varieties with Gorenstein toroidal singularities and recover the expected string-theoretic and Hodge-theoretic invariants. The source calls the definition provisional and says that more work is necessary.
