Enumerative Geometry of Quantum Periods
Abstract
We interpret the -refined theta function of a log Calabi-Yau surface as a natural -refinement of the open mirror map, defined by quantum periods of mirror curves for outer Aganagic-Vafa branes on the local Calabi-Yau . The series coefficients are all-genus logarithmic two-point invariants, directly extending the relation found in [GRZ]. Yet we find an explicit discrepancy at higher genus in the relation to open Gromov-Witten invariants of the Aganagic-Vafa brane. Using a degeneration argument, we express the difference in terms of relative invariants of an elliptic curve. With the toric blow up of a point, we use the Topological Vertex [AKMV] to show a correspondence between open invariants of and closed invariants of generalizing a variant of [CLLT][LLW] to arbitrary genus and winding. We also equate winding-1, open-BPS invariants with closed Gopakumar-Vafa invariants.
