How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
General HMS for a specified compact mirror datum
Open problem
Assume AC. Choose a compact smooth symplectic manifold and a specified smooth -compatible almost-complex structure : and is a symmetric positive definite metric. Regard as a complex vector bundle using , and define componentwise by the topological Chern-class convention on CW-type bases; smooth manifolds here are second countable and have CW homotopy type. Require . No choice-independence assertion is needed because is supplied data.
For a fixed mirror datum with these data, smooth projective with , compatible gradings and coefficient completion, and a weakly unobstructed Fukaya A-infinity category specified, ask whether there exists a split-closed quasi-equivalence
compatible with the mirror-parameter map in the following specified sense. In addition to the geometric mirror datum, supply small parameter categories and a functor representing its map . Concretely, specify parameter points and in the declared parameter category, with ; the morphisms in are the chosen parameter transitions and their geometric identifications are part of the datum. Require a common coefficient ring after the declared base changes, and diagrams and . Here is the category obtained from small dg categories and dg functors by formally inverting quasi-equivalences; a dg functor is a quasi-equivalence when it induces quasi-isomorphisms on all Hom complexes and is essentially surjective on . The value is a specified dg enhancement of the split-closed derived Fukaya category at , and is a specified dg enhancement of the coherent derived category at . An enhancement here means a dg category with a specified equivalence from its to the indicated triangulated category. Supply the transition morphisms and functor laws for these diagrams; they are additional hypotheses, not data inferred from alone. For such additional diagram data, the parameter problem is to determine whether a comparison exists, to identify obstructions when it does not, and to construct it when existence holds. No assertion that every supplied pair of diagrams admits a comparison is made. The requested comparison, when it exists, is a natural isomorphism in : each is an isomorphism there, and for every one requires . At the distinguished parameter this must induce the displayed equivalence. Even pointwise quasi-equivalence of the fibres is only a necessary condition for this diagram problem. This fixes the compatibility condition at the level of the localized dg category; no extra analytic flat connection or chain-level higher naturality is implicit. A single specified pair is the case of terminal parameter categories. This asks for a comparison for the specified data, and does not assert that every has a mirror .

Status
The single-pair equivalence question is the general HMS question motivated by the cited Kontsevich formulation. The extra diagram problem is a locally specified extension of that formulation; existence for arbitrary transition diagrams is not a conjecture attributed to Kontsevich. The proved identity-versus-zero transition obstruction is recorded separately in Identity and zero transitions obstruct a diagram comparison: identical fibres do not suffice for an isomorphism of the supplied diagrams. Such elementary obstructions must be separated from the unresolved equivalence problem for a genuine geometric mirror pair and from the additional geometric conditions needed for family compatibility. The source-specific elliptic, quartic, quintic and toric-subcategory theorems on the companion A page have their own hypotheses and do not solve this question. Its log-surface material provides geometric and categorical interfaces, without a log-surface equivalence theorem in that page inventory. The exact multi-object Fukaya category and source-specific analytic construction remain prerequisites rather than consequences of the question.
