Description
Motivated by various contraction conjectures, I will describe the full A_infty structure associated to a general (-3,1)-curve C inside a smooth CY 3-fold. As a corollary, the noncommutative deformation theory of C can be described as a superpotential algebra derived from what we call free necklace polynomials, establishing a suitably interpreted string theory prediction due to Ferrari, Aspinwall-Katz and Curto-Morrison. This is joint work with Gavin Brown.
