The Virasoro conjecture for smooth complete intersections in projective space (and its transfer to projective bundles)

Principal theorem: for a smooth complete intersection X⊂PCNX\subset\mathbb P^N_{\mathbb C}, LkXZX=0L_k^XZ_X=0 for all k≥−1k\ge-1 in Getzler's first-Hodge-degree superspace convention, coefficientwise in every genus and curve class, with arbitrary insertions from H∗(X;C)H^*(X;\mathbb C). Companion: if the full constraints hold for a smooth connected projective base BB, they hold for PB(E)\mathbb P_B(E) for any algebraic vector bundle EE of rank at least 2 (no splitting or positivity), hence for projective-bundle towers. The conjecture for general smooth projective varieties (for example general hypersurfaces in other ambients, or varieties with no degeneration to known pieces) remains open.
