Remodeling for binary-dihedral orbifold Gromov–Witten theory

Can affine binary-dihedral orbifold Gromov–Witten invariants be recovered by involution-equivariant sign-sector recursion on a type-D logarithmic Toda curve? The target covers stable descendants with n>0 and 2g−2+n>0, and free energies with g≥2 on the specified smooth chamber.

Why it matters and what counts as progress

Why it matters: The binary-dihedral orbifold is non-toric, so the proposed correspondence extends remodeling beyond earlier toric Calabi–Yau settings.

What counts as progress: Prove the recursion correspondence in this non-toric setting or extend its chamber, genus or insertion scope.

How the problem developed

  1. 2009 · Conjecture [1][3]

    Bouchard, Klemm, Mariño, and Pasquetti Proposed the remodeling correspondence for toric Calabi–Yau threefolds, relating B-model topological recursion to higher-genus Gromov–Witten theory; the binary-dihedral target lies outside that toric setting.

  2. 5 Nov 2025 · Partial result [2][3]

    Andrea Brini, Jingxiang Ma, and Ian A. B. Strachan Constructed the type-D logarithmic Toda B-model and identified its genus-zero mirror structure for ADE resolutions, supplying the surface-level input used by the later threefold work.

  3. 8 Jul 2026 · Reported claim [3]

    Bohan Fang, Zhuoming Lan, and Jingxiang Ma The preprint claims closed-string remodeling for the affine binary-dihedral Calabi–Yau orbifold threefold, with stable descendants and equivariant free energies for genus g ≥ 2.

Involution-equivariant topological recursion and mirror symmetry for the affine binary dihedral Calabi--Yau threefold

Bohan Fang, Zhuoming Lan, Jingxiang Ma

Fang, Lan and Ma identify affine binary-dihedral orbifold Gromov–Witten theory with involution-equivariant sign-sector recursion on a type-D logarithmic Toda curve, for stable descendants with n>0 and 2g−2+n>0 and free energies with g≥2 on the stated smooth chamber.
