Outline of Research at the Start |
Gromov-Witten theory was discovered by physicists via the so called topological string theory. It has many interesting applications to both geometry and differential equations. The K-theoretic version of Gromov-Witten theory is much more involved, but nevertheless, there was a recent progress by Givental, which in principle clarifies the relation between K-theoretic and cohomological Gromov-Witten theory. We are planning to investigate the applications of K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants to differential equations, such as, confluence of difference equations and integrable hierarchies.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We got two interesting results. The first one is related to the problem of confluence in the theory of q-difference equations. Namely, we proved that the small K-theoretic J-functions of a smooth projectve variety with non-negative first Chern class has a limit as q->1 and this limit coincides with the small cohomological J-function. Here, non-negative first Chern class means that the natural pairing of the 1st Chern class of the tangent bundle and the homology class of an irreducible curve is a non-negative number. The limit is taken after rescaling each Novikov variable in the K-theoretic J-function by an appropriate power of q-1.Moreover, we expect that our argument can be generalized so one can prove the confluence of the big J-function and the confluence of the quantum q-difference equations. It is also expected that the positivity condition of the 1st Chern class is redundant but removing this condition seems to be a challenging problem. Our second result is in the settings of toric geometry. We were able to identify explicitly the small J-function of a Fano toric manifold of Picard rank 2 with a certain q-oscillatory integral. The latter was introduced by Givental in order to provide a solution of the quantum q-difference equations and it can be viewed as a first step towards constructing or fomrulating mirror symmetry in quantum K-theory.
