Abstract We give a short new computation of the quantum cohomology of an arbitrary smooth (semiprojective) toric variety $X$, by showing directly that the Kodaira–Spencer map of Fukaya–Oh–Ohta–Ono defines an isomorphism onto a suitable Jacobian ring. In contrast to previous results of this kind, $X$ need not be compact. The proof is based on the purely algebraic fact that a class of generalized Jacobian rings associated to $X$ are free as modules over the Novikov ring. When $X$ is monotone the presentation we obtain is completely explicit, using only well-known computations with the standard complex structure.

Using mirror symmetry in Calabi-Yau manifolds M, we study three-point functions of A(M) model operators on the genus 0 Riemann surface in cases of one-parameter families of d-folds realized as Fermat type hypersurfaces embedded in weighted projective spaces and a two-parameter family of d-folds embedded in a weighted projective space Pd+1 [2,2,2,...,2,2,1,1] (2 (d + 1)). These three-point functions [Formula: see text] are expanded by indeterminates [Formula: see text] associated with a set of Kähler coordinates {tl}, and their expansion coefficients count the number of maps with a definite degree which map each of the three-points 0, 1 and ∞ on the world sheet on some homology cycle of M associated with a cohomology element. From these analyses, we can read the fusion structure of Calabi-Yau A(M) model operators. In our cases they constitute a subring of a total quantum cohomology ring of the A(M) model operators. In fact we switch off all perturbation operators on the topological theories except for marginal ones associated with Kähler forms of M. For that reason, the charge conservation of operators turns out to be a classical one. Furthermore, because their first Chern classes c1 vanish, their topological selection rules do not depend on the degree of maps (in particular, a nilpotent property of operators [Formula: see text] is satisfied). Then these fusion couplings {κl} are represented as some series adding up all degrees of maps.

We extend the construction of Calabi-Yau manifolds to hypersurfaces in non-Fano toric varieties, requiring the use of certain Laurent defining polynomials, and explore the phases of the corresponding gauged linear sigma models. The associated non-reflexive and non-convex polytopes provide a generalization of Batyrev’s original work, allowing us to construct novel pairs of mirror models. We showcase our proposal for this generalization by examining Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in Hirzebruch n-folds, focusing on n=3,4 sequences, and outline the more general class of so-defined geometries.
