Enumerative meaning of mirror maps for toric Calabi–Yau manifolds

Abstract

We prove that the inverse of a mirror map for a toric Calabi–Yau manifold of the form KY, where Y is a compact toric Fano manifold, can be expressed in terms of generating functions of genus 0 open Gromov–Witten invariants defined by Fukaya–Oh–Ohta–Ono (2010) [15]. Such a relation between mirror maps and disk counting invariants was first conjectured by Gross and Siebert (2011) [24, Conjecture 0.2 and Remark 5.1] as part of their program, and was later formulated in terms of Fukaya–Oh–Ohta–Ono’s invariants in the toric Calabi–Yau case in Chan et al. (2012) [8, Conjecture 1.1].
