TL;DR
This work develops Gamma-structural and asymptotic tools for Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten theory of general-type Landau–Ginzburg pairs $(W,⟨J⟩)$. It introduces a quantum-spectrum framework based on the operator $\frac{\nu}{d}\tau'\star_{\tau}$ and proves the spectrum conjecture for mirror ADE and Fermat-type polynomials, while establishing a detailed link between algebraic (matrix factorizations and Orlov decompositions) and analytic (Stokes, Meijer $G$, Barnes hypergeometric) structures. The paper constructs Gamma maps and Gamma classes that connect the category of $G$-equivariant matrix factorizations to FJRW theory, and proves Gamma conjectures in several general-type cases, notably Fermat polynomials. By relating Orlov’s semiorthogonal decompositions to Stokes data, it provides a unified picture of how categorical and analytic invariants encode the massive vacuum structure in LG models, with potential implications for CY/Fano correspondences and birational invariants in LG settings.
Abstract
Let $W$ be a quasi-homogeneous polynomial of general type and $<J>$ be the cyclic symmetry group of $W$ generated by the exponential grading element $J$. We study the quantum spectrum and asymptotic behavior in Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten theory of the Landau-Ginzburg pair $(W, <J>)$. Inspired by Galkin-Golyshev-Iritani's Gamma conjectures for quantum cohomology of Fano manifolds, we propose Gamma conjectures for Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten theory of general type. We prove the quantum spectrum conjecture and the Gamma conjectures for Fermat homogeneous polynomials and the mirror simple singularities. The Gamma structures in Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten theory also provide a bridge from the category of matrix factorizations of the Landau-Ginzburg pair (the algebraic aspect) to its analytic aspect. We will explain the relationship among the Gamma structures, Orlov's semiorthogonal decompositions, and the Stokes phenomenon.
