Abstract

We construct an algebraic framework for the extended holomorphic anomaly equations following ideas of Alim, Movasati, Scheidegger and Yau. We choose the quintic threefold as our main model and use this framework to solve the equations and fix the ambiguity up to genus 5. We obtain predictions for real Gromov-Witten invariants, or, equivalently, real Gopakumar-Vafa invariants that are integers and agree with their complex counterparts modulo 2. In the end, we discuss how the framework could be extended and compute the same predictions for the bicubic up to genus 9.
