In this paper, we explicitly derive the generalized mirror transformation of quantum cohomology of general type projective hypersurfaces, proposed in our previous article, as an effect of coordinate change of the virtual Gauss-Manin system.Comment: 19 pages, latex, minor errors are corrected, discussions in Section 4 are refine

Mirror Map as Generating Function of Intersection Numbers: Toric Manifolds with Two K\"ahler Forms

In this paper, we extend our geometrical derivation of expansion coefficients of mirror maps by localization computation to the case of toric manifolds with two K\"ahler forms. Especially, we take Hirzebruch surfaces F_{0}, F_{3} and Calabi-Yau hypersurface in weighted projective space P(1,1,2,2,2) as examples. We expect that our results can be easily generalized to arbitrary toric manifold.Comment: 45 pages, 2 figures, minor errors are corrected, English is refined. Section 1 and Section 2 are enlarged. Especially in Section 2, confusion between the notion of resolution and the notion of compactification is resolved. Computation under non-zero equivariant parameters are added in Section

Construction of Free Energy of Calabi-Yau manifold embedded in CPn−1CP^{n-1} via Torus Actions

We calculate correlation functions of topological sigma model (A-model) on Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in $CP^{N-1}$ using torus action method. We also obtain path-integral represention of free energy of the theory coupled to gravity.Comment: 30 page

Gauss-Manin System and the Virtual Structure Constants

In this paper, we discuss some applications of Givental's differential equations to enumerative problems on rational curves in projective hypersurfaces. Using this method, we prove some of the conjectures on the structure constants of quantum cohomology of projective hypersurfaces, proposed in our previous article. Moreover, we clarify the correspondence between the virtual structure constants and Givental's differential equations when the projective hypersurface is Calabi-Yau or general type.Comment: 25 pages, Latex, references added, minor errors are correcte

On the Quantum Cohomology Rings of General Type Projective Hypersurfaces and Generalized Mirror Transformation

In this paper, we study the structure of the quantum cohomology ring of a projective hypersurface with non-positive 1st Chern class. We prove a theorem which suggests that the mirror transformation of the quantum cohomology of a projective Calabi-Yau hypersurface has a close relation with the ring of symmetric functions, or with Schur polynomials. With this result in mind, we propose a generalized mirror transformation on the quantum cohomology of a hypersurface with negative first Chern class and construct an explicit prediction formula for three point Gromov-Witten invariants up to cubic rational curves. We also construct a projective space resolution of the moduli space of polynomial maps, which is in a good correspondence with the terms that appear in the generalized mirror transformation.Comment: 32 pages, 3 figures, discussion in section 5 is refined, some minor errors are correcte

Multi-Point Virtual Structure Constants and Mirror Computation of CP^2-model

In this paper, we propose a geometrical approach to mirror computation of genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of CP^2. We use multi-point virtual structure constants, which are defined as intersection numbers of a compact moduli space of quasi maps from CP^1 to CP^2 with 2+n marked points. We conjecture that some generating functions of them produce mirror map and the others are translated into generating functions of Gromov-Witten invariants via the mirror map. We generalize this formalism to open string case. In this case, we have to introduce infinite number of deformation parameters to obtain results that agree with some known results of open Gromov-Witten invariants of CP^2. We also apply multi-point virtual structure constants to compute closed and open Gromov-Witten invariants of a non-nef hypersurface in projective space. This application simplifies the computational process of generalized mirror transformation.Comment: 26 pages, Late

Generalization of Calabi-Yau/Landau-Ginzburg correspondence

We discuss a possible generalization of the Calabi-Yau/Landau-Ginzburg correspondence to a more general class of manifolds. Specifically we consider the Fermat type hypersurfaces $M_N^k$: $\sum_{i=1}^N X_i^k =0$ in ${\bf CP}^{N-1}$ for various values of k and N. When k<N, the 1-loop beta function of the sigma model on $M_N^k$ is negative and we expect the theory to have a mass gap. However, the quantum cohomology relation $\sigma^{N-1}={const.}\sigma^{k-1}$ suggests that in addition to the massive vacua there exists a remaining massless sector in the theory if k>2. We assume that this massless sector is described by a Landau-Ginzburg (LG) theory of central charge $c=3N(1-2/k)$ with N chiral fields with U(1) charge $1/k$. We compute the topological invariants (elliptic genera) using LG theory and massive vacua and compare them with the geometrical data. We find that the results agree if and only if k=even and N=even. These are the cases when the hypersurfaces have a spin structure. Thus we find an evidence for the geometry/LG correspondence in the case of spin manifolds.Comment: 19 pages, Late

On the Structure of the Small Quantum Cohomology Rings of Projective Hypersurfaces

We give an explicit procedure which computes for degree $d \leq 3$ the correlation functions of topological sigma model (A-model) on a projective Fano hypersurface $X$ as homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ in the correlation functions of degree 1 (number of lines). We extend this formalism to the case of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and explain how the polynomial property is preserved. Our key tool is the construction of universal recursive formulas which express the structural constants of the quantum cohomology ring of $X$ as weighted homogeneous polynomial functions in the constants of the Fano hypersurface with the same degree and dimension one more. We propose some conjectures about the existence and the form of the recursive formulas for the structural constants of rational curves of arbitrary degree. Our recursive formulas should yield the coefficients of the hypergeometric series used in the mirror calculation. Assuming the validity of the conjectures we find the recursive laws for rational curves of degree 4 and 5.Comment: 32 pages, changed fonts, exact results on quintic rational curves are added.
