Gamma conjecture II via global Gamma-I

Abstract

For a Fano manifold $X$, Gamma conjecture II aims to use $\mathcal{D}_{\rm{coh}}^b(X)$ to describe the asymptotic behavior of its Dubrovin connection via $\widehatΓ$-integral structure. It was proposed by Galkin, Golyshev and Iritani, and can be regarded as a quantitative refinement of Dubrovin's conjecture on Fano manifolds with semisimple big quantum cohomology. As a step toward Gamma conjecture II, we define the Gamma-I property at points satisfying the (SR) condition, arising from the original Gamma conjecture I. We prove that the property holds globally in the following sense: if it holds at one such point, then it holds throughout the connected component of the (SR)-region containing that point. Based on this global Gamma-I property, we establish a strategy-type theorem relating Gamma conjecture II to the Gamma-I property at a possibly non-semisimple point, together with an analysis of small quantum cohomology. We further apply this theorem to prove Gamma conjecture II for del Pezzo surfaces; the proof combines Iritani's Galois action with addtional elementary operations on exceptional collections, and its most technically involved step consists in verifying the required global Gamma-I property.
