The cyclic open--closed map and variations of Hodge structures
Sheel Ganatra, Nick Sheridan
TL;DR
This work builds a precise bridge between the A-model and Fukaya category perspectives by constructing and analyzing the cyclic open--closed map in the setting of the big relative Fukaya category. It proves that this map intertwines the Getzler–Gauss–Manin and Dubrovin–Givental connections, and preserves pairings, thereby establishing a polarized variation of semi-infinite Hodge structures (VSHS) isomorphism under suitable hypotheses. The authors provide an isomorphism criterion (e.g., via homological smoothness or HMS in Calabi–Yau cases) that allows extraction of rational Gromov–Witten invariants from the Fukaya category and hence deduces genus-zero enumerative mirror symmetry from homological mirror symmetry for Calabi–Yau mirror pairs. The framework relies on the big relative Fukaya category, its bounding-cochain formalisms, and the established algebraic apparatus for cyclic/homological invariants, rendering the Frobenius manifold structure on quantum cohomology accessible from the Fukaya side. Applications include verification for Greene–Plesser and Batyrev-type mirrors, providing a conceptual route from HMS to enumerative predictions via VSHS correspondences.
Abstract
We construct the cyclic open--closed map for the big (i.e., bulk-deformed) relative Fukaya category, in the semipositive case, and show that it is a morphism of `polarized variations of semi-infinite Hodge structures'. We also give a natural criterion for the map to be an isomorphism, which is verified for example in the context of Batyrev mirror pairs. We conclude in such Calabi-Yau cases that the rational Gromov--Witten invariants can be extracted from the relative Fukaya category, and hence that enumerative mirror symmetry is a consequence of homological mirror symmetry for Calabi--Yau mirror pairs.
