Abstract

A log Calabi-Yau surface with maximal boundary, or Looijenga pair, is a pair (Y,D)(Y,D) with YY a smooth rational projective complex surface and D=D1++DlKYD=D_1+\dots + D_l \in |-K_Y| an anticanonical singular nodal curve. Under some positivity conditions on the pair, we propose a series of correspondences relating five different classes of enumerative invariants attached to (Y,D)(Y,D): 1) the log Gromov-Witten theory of the pair (Y,D)(Y,D), 2) the Gromov-Witten theory of the total space of iOY(Di)\bigoplus_i \mathcal{O}_Y(-D_i), 3) the open Gromov-Witten theory of special Lagrangians in a Calabi-Yau 3-fold determined by (Y,D)(Y,D), 4) the Donaldson-Thomas theory of a symmetric quiver specified by (Y,D)(Y,D), and 5) a class of BPS invariants considered in different contexts by Klemm-Pandharipande, Ionel-Parker, and Labastida-Marino-Ooguri-Vafa. We furthermore provide a complete closed-form solution to the calculation of all these invariants.
