This paper, largely written in 2009/2010, fits Landau–Ginzburg models into the mirror symmetry program pursued by the last author jointly with Mark Gross since 2001. This point of view transparently brings in tropical disks of Maslov index 2 via the notion of broken lines, previously introduced in two dimensions by Mark Gross in his study of mirror symmetry for P2 . A major insight is the equivalence of properness of the Landau–Ginzburg potential with smoothness of the anticanonical divisor on the mirror side. We obtain proper superpotentials which agree on an open part with those classically known for toric varieties. Examples include mirror LG models for non-singular and singular del Pezzo surfaces, Hirzebruch surfaces and some Fano threefolds. 

We prove a splitting formula that reconstructs the logarithmic Gromov–Witten invariants of simple normal crossing varieties from the punctured Gromov–Witten invariants of their irreducible components, under the assumption of the gluing strata being toric varieties. The formula is based on the punctured Gromov–Witten theory developed by Abramovich, Chen, Gross, and Siebert. 

Abstract As announced in Gross and Siebert (in Algebraic geometry: Salt Lake City 2015, Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics, vol 97, no 2. AMS, Providence, pp 199–230, 2018) in 2016, we construct and prove consistency of the canonical wall structure . This construction starts with a log Calabi–Yau pair ( X ,  D ) and produces a wall structure, as defined in Gross et al. (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 278(1376), 1376, 1–103, 2022). Roughly put, the canonical wall structure is a data structure which encodes an algebro-geometric analogue of counts of Maslov index zero disks. These enumerative invariants are defined in terms of the punctured invariants of Abramovich et al. (Punctured Gromov–Witten invariants, 2020. arXiv:2009.07720v2 [math.AG]). There are then two main theorems of the paper. First, we prove consistency of the canonical wall structure, so that, using the setup of Gross et al. (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 278(1376), 1376, 1–103, 2022), the canonical wall structure gives rise to a mirror family. Second, we prove that this mirror family coincides with the intrinsic mirror constructed in Gross and Siebert (Intrinsic mirror symmetry, 2019. arXiv:1909.07649v2 [math.AG]). While the setup of this paper is narrower than that of Gross and Siebert (Intrinsic mirror symmetry, 2019. arXiv:1909.07649v2 [math.AG]), it gives a more detailed description of the mirror.
