AB - We give a global, intrinsic, and co-ordinate-free quantization formalism forGromov-Witten invariants and their B-model counterparts, which simultaneouslygeneralizes the quantization formalisms described by Witten, Givental, andAganagic-Bouchard-Klemm. Descendant potentials live in a Fock sheaf, consistingof local functions on Givental's Lagrangian cone that satisfy the (3g-2)-jetcondition of Eguchi-Xiong; they also satisfy a certain anomaly equation, whichgeneralizes the Holomorphic Anomaly Equation of Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa.We interpret Givental's formula for the higher-genus potentials associated to asemisimple Frobenius manifold in this setting, showing that, in the semisimplecase, there is a canonical global section of the Fock sheaf. This canonicalsection automatically has certain modularity properties. When X is a varietywith semisimple quantum cohomology, a theorem of Teleman implies that thecanonical section coincides with the geometric descendant potential defined byGromov-Witten invariants of X. We use our formalism to prove a higher-genusversion of Ruan's Crepant Transformation Conjecture for compact toricorbifolds. When combined with our earlier joint work with Jiang, this showsthat the total descendant potential for compact toric orbifold X is a modularfunction for a certain group of autoequivalences of the derived category of X.
