A descendent tropical Landau–Ginzburg potential for $\mathbb{P}^2$

Following work of Gross, a family of Landau–Ginzburg potentials for $\mathbb{P}^2$ is defined using counts of tropical objects analogous to holomorphic disks with descendants. Oscillatory integrals of this family compute an enhancement of Givental’s $J$-function, encoding many descendent Gromov–Witten invariants. This construction can be seen as yielding a canonical family of Landau–Ginzburg potentials on a refinement of a sector of the big phase space, and the resulting descendent $J$-function is the natural lift given by the constitutive equations of Dijkgraaf and Witten to this setting.
