introduction
- A quantum curve is a Schrodinger operator-like noncommutative analogue of a plane curve which encodes (quantum) enumerative invariants in a new and interesting way.
- One says that a pair (P,Q) of ordinary differential operators specify a quantum curve if [P,Q]=const.
- If a pair of difference operators (K,L) obey the relation KL=const LK we say that they specify a discrete quantum curve.
- This terminology is prompted by well known results about commuting differential and difference operators, relating pairs of such operators with pairs of meromorphic functions on algebraic curves obeying some conditions.
- moduli spaces of quantum curves.
- how to quantize a pair of commuting differential or difference operators (i.e. to construct the corresponding quantum curve or discrete quantum curve)
- The Schrodinger operator annihilates a wave function which can be constructed using the WKB method, and conjecturally constructed in a rather different way via topological recursion.
- Quantum curves arise in various contexts in modern mathematical physics
- in matrix models as quantization of spectral curves [1, 2]
- in topological string theory as quantization of mirror curves [3]
- in systems of intersecting branes and in Seiberg-Witten theory [4,5],
- as quantum A-polynomials and their generalizations in knot theory and its physical realizations [6, 7]
- in various enumerative problems related to moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces [8, 9]
