The JMGS conjecture for Calabi–Yau threefolds

From papers

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau threefold. Choose a basis

{Φα}α=1N=i=03{Φij}j=1ni\{\Phi_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha=1}^N=\bigsqcup_{i=0}^3\{\Phi_{ij}\}_{j=1}^{n_i}

whose Chern characters form a basis of the corresponding cohomology groups, with Φ01=O\Phi_{01}=\mathcal{O}. Let {Φij}\{\Phi^{ij}\} be the basis dual to {Φij}\{\Phi_{ij}\} under the K-theoretic Poincaré pairing (Φa,Φb)K:=χ(X,ΦaΦb)(\Phi_a,\Phi_b)^K:=\chi(X,\Phi_a\Phi_b). For nonzero curve classes βH2(X,Z)\beta\in H_2(X,\mathbb{Z}), write Φα1qL0,1,β\langle\frac{\Phi^\alpha}{1-qL}\rangle_{0,1,\beta} for the genus-zero, one-point quantum K-theoretic invariant, let QβQ^\beta denote the corresponding Novikov monomial, and let GVd{\mathrm{GV}}_{\vec d} denote the Gopakumar–Vafa invariant of the curve class d\vec d. Define

a(r,qr)=r11qr+1(1qr)2,b(r,qr)=r211qr+3(1qr)22(1qr)3.a(r,q^r)=\frac{r-1}{1-q^r}+\frac{1}{(1-q^r)^2},\qquad b(r,q^r)=\frac{r^2-1}{1-q^r}+\frac{3}{(1-q^r)^2}-\frac{2}{(1-q^r)^3}.

The JMGS conjecture. The small JJ-function satisfies

11qJ(q,Q)=1+dH2(X,Z)r=1[j=1n1Φ1j(dch(Φ1j))a(r,qr)GVdQrd+Φ01b(r,qr)GVdQrd],\frac{1}{1-q}J(q,Q)=1+\sum_{\vec d\in H_2(X,\mathbb Z)}\sum_{r=1}^{\infty}\left[\sum_{j=1}^{n_1}\Phi^{1j}\left(\int_{\vec d}\operatorname{ch}(\Phi_{1j})\right)a(r,q^r){\mathrm{GV}}_{\vec d}Q^{r\vec d}+\Phi^{01}b(r,q^r){\mathrm{GV}}_{\vec d}Q^{r\vec d}\right],

where

11qJ(q,Q):=11q[(1q)+αβ0ΦαΦα1qL0,1,βQβ].\frac{1}{1-q}J(q,Q):=\frac{1}{1-q}\left[(1-q)+\sum_\alpha\sum_{\beta\ne0}\Phi_\alpha\left\langle\frac{\Phi^\alpha}{1-qL}\right\rangle_{0,1,\beta}Q^\beta\right].

This generalizes the proposed relation of Jockers, Mayr, Garoufalidis and Scheidegger between Gopakumar–Vafa invariants and quantum K-invariants from the quintic threefold to general Calabi–Yau threefolds. The relation is expressed through the small JJ-function and predicts a precise multiple-cover formula, but its status is not established in the supplied source context.
