Smoothing, scattering and a conjecture of Fukaya

In 2002, Fukaya [19] proposed a remarkable explanation of mirror symmetry detailing the Strominger–Yau–Zaslow (SYZ) conjecture [47] by introducing two correspondences: one between the theory of pseudo-holomorphic curves on a Calabi–Yau manifold $\check {X}$ and the multivalued Morse theory on...

description In 2002, Fukaya [19] proposed a remarkable explanation of mirror symmetry detailing the Strominger–Yau–Zaslow (SYZ) conjecture [47] by introducing two correspondences: one between the theory of pseudo-holomorphic curves on a Calabi–Yau manifold $\check {X}$ and the multivalued Morse theory on the base $\check {B}$ of an SYZ fibration $\check {p}\colon \check {X}\to \check {B}$ , and the other between deformation theory of the mirror X and the same multivalued Morse theory on $\check {B}$ . In this paper, we prove a reformulation of the main conjecture in Fukaya’s second correspondence, where multivalued Morse theory on the base $\check {B}$ is replaced by tropical geometry on the Legendre dual B. In the proof, we apply techniques of asymptotic analysis developed in [7, 9] to tropicalize the pre-dgBV algebra which governs smoothing of a maximally degenerate Calabi–Yau log variety introduced in [8]. Then a comparison between this tropicalized algebra with the dgBV algebra associated to the deformation theory of the semiflat part $X_{\mathrm {sf}} \subset X$ allows us to extract consistent scattering diagrams from appropriate Maurer–Cartan solutions.
