A perturbative construction of primitive forms from log Landau-Ginzburg mirrors of toric manifolds

Abstract

We introduce the notion of a logarithmic Landau-Ginzburg (log LG) model, which is essentially given by equipping the central degenerate fiber of the family of Landau-Ginzburg (LG) models mirror to a projective toric manifold with a natural log structure. We show that the state space of the mirror log LG model is naturally isomorphic to that of the original toric manifold. Following [32], [33], we give a perturbative construction of primitive forms by studying the deformation theory of such a log LG model, which involves both smoothing of the central degenerate fiber and unfolding of the superpotential. This yields a logarithmic Frobenius manifold structure on the base space of the universal unfolding. The primitive forms and flat coordinates we obtained are computable and closely related to the bulk-deformed Lagrangian Floer superpotential of a projective toric manifold, at least in the semi-Fano case.
