Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The notion of a D-module which is a generalization of a linear partial differential equation was introduced by Kashiwara at the beginning of the 70’s. Through the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence they are closely linked with perverse sheaves whose basic building blocks are the intersection complexes of Goresky and MacPherson. D-modules turned out to be an indispensable tool to study singularities of maps between algebraic varieties. These D-modules of ”geometric origin” carry an extra structures, namely so-called Hodge and weight filtrations which are notoriously difficult to compute. One of the major achievements of this project so far was the explicit calculation of these two filtrations in the case of the Gelfand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky hypergeometric systems which are closely related to the geometry of Laurent polynomials in several variables. These maps play a prominent role in mirror symmetry since they serve as Landau- Ginzburg mirror partners for complete intersections in toric varieties. Here mirror symmetry provides a mysterious duality between enumerative geometry of algebraic varieties, captured by the quantum cohomology, on one side and highly transcendental period integrals, captured by D-modules, on the other side. The explicit knowledge of the Hodge filtration on the GKZ-system enabled us to prove a conjecture of Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev on the existence of a non-commutative Hodge structure on the quantum cohomology of a projective variety.
