The Proper Landau–Ginzburg Potential, Intrinsic Mirror Symmetry and the Relative Mirror Map

Abstract

Given a smooth log Calabi–Yau pair (X, D), we use the intrinsic mirror symmetry construction to define the mirror proper Landau–Ginzburg potential and show that it is a generating function of two-point relative Gromov–Witten invariants of (X, D). We compute certain relative invariants with several negative contact orders, and then apply the relative mirror theorem of Fan et al. (Sel Math (NS) 25(4): Art. 54, 25, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00029-019-0501-z) to compute two-point relative invariants. When D is nef, we compute the proper Landau–Ginzburg potential and show that it is the inverse of the relative mirror map. Specializing to the case of a toric variety X, this implies the conjecture of m Gräfnitz et al. (2022) that the proper Landau–Ginzburg potential is the open mirror map. When X is a Fano variety, the proper potential is related to the anti-derivative of the regularized quantum period.
