Let X = XΣ be a toric surface and (X, W ) be its Landau-Ginzburg (LG) mirror where W is the Hori-Vafa potential [37]. We apply asymptotic analysis to study the extended deformation theory of the LG model (X, W ), and prove that semi-classical limits of Fourier modes of a specific class of Maurer-Cartan solutions naturally give rise to tropical disks in X with Maslov index 0 or 2, the latter of which produces a universal unfolding of W . For X = P 2 , our construction reproduces Gross' perturbed potential Wn [29] which was proven to be the universal unfolding of W written in canonical coordinates. We also explain how the extended deformation theory can be used to reinterpret the jumping phenomenon of Wn across walls of the scattering diagram formed by Maslov index 0 tropical disks originally observed by Gross [29] (in the case of X = P 2 ).
1As in [10], a solution Φ to the extended MC equation 1.3 of (G/I) * , * can be constructed using Kuranishi's method [42], namely, by summing over directed ribbon weighted d-pointed k-trees (see Definition 2.6) with input Π. The MC solution Φ can then be decomposed aswhere Ξ i,i ∈ (G/I) i,i . A major discovery of this paper is that, as ℏ → 0, the correction terms Ξ 1,1 and Ξ 0,0 give rise to tropical disks of Maslov index 0 and 2 respectively: 1 (=Theorem 4.12). Each of the terms Ξ 0,0 , Ξ 1,1 of the Maurer-Cartan solution Φ can be expressed as a sum over tropical disks Γ whose moduli space M Γ is non-empty of codimensionhere Mono(Γ) is a holomorphic function and Log(Θ Γ ) is a holomorphic vector field defined explicitly for a tropical disk Γ, and α Γ is a Dolbeault (0, 1 − M I(Γ) 2 )-form with asymptotic support along the 1 These are the only nontrivial bulk deformations.
