The quantum tropical vertex
Abstract
Gross-Pandharipande-Siebert have shown that the 2-dimensional Kontsevich-Soibelman scattering diagrams compute certain genus zero log Gromov-Witten invariants of log Calabi-Yau surfaces. We show that the -refined 2-dimensional Kontsevich-Soibelman scattering diagrams compute, after the change of variables , generating series of certain higher genus log Gromov-Witten invariants of log Calabi-Yau surfaces. This result provides a mathematically rigorous realization of the physical derivation of the refined wall-crossing formula from topological string theory proposed by Cecotti-Vafa, and in particular can be seen as a non-trivial mathematical check of the connection suggested by Witten between higher genus open A-model and Chern-Simons theory. We also prove some new BPS integrality results and propose some other BPS integrality conjectures.
