A formula equating open and closed Gromov–Witten invariants and its applications to mirror symmetry

Kwokwai Chan

Vol. 254 (2011), No. 2, 275–293
Abstract

We prove that open Gromov–Witten invariants for semi-Fano toric manifolds of the form X = (KY ⊕𝒪Y ), where Y is a toric Fano manifold, are equal to certain 1-pointed closed Gromov–Witten invariants of X. As applications, we compute the mirror superpotentials for these manifolds. In particular, this gives a simple proof for the formula of the mirror superpotential for the Hirzebruch surface F2.
