Higher Genus Gromov-Witten Theory of C^n/Z_n II: Crepant Resolution Correspondence

Abstract

We study the structure of the higher genus Gromov-Witten theory of the total space $K\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ of the canonical bundle of the projective space $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$. We prove the finite generation property for the Gromov-Witten potential of $K\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ by working out the details of its cohomological field theory (CohFT). More precisely, we prove that the Gromov-Witten potential of $K\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ lies in an explicit polynomial ring using the Givental-Teleman classification of the semisimple CohFTs. In arXiv:2301.08389, we carried out a parallel study for $[\mathbb{C}^n/\mathbb{Z}_n]$ and proved that the Gromov-Witten potential of $[\mathbb{C}^n/\mathbb{Z}_n]$ lies in a similar polynomial ring. The main result of this paper is a crepant resolution correspondence for higher genus Gromov-Witten theories of $K\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ and $[\mathbb{C}^n/\mathbb{Z}_n]$, which is proved by establishing an isomorphism between the polynomial rings associated to $K\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ and $[\mathbb{C}^n/\mathbb{Z}_n]$. This paper generalizes the works of Lho-Pandharipande arXiv:1804.03168 for the case of $[\mathbb{C}^3/\mathbb{Z}_3]$ and Lho arXiv:2211.15878 for the case $[\mathbb{C}^5/\mathbb{Z}_5]$ to arbitrary $n\geq 3$.
