We prove the Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa's conjecture for all genus Gromov-Witten potentials of the quintic threefolds, by identifying the Feynman graph sum with the $\nmsp$ stable graph sum via an R-matrix action. The Yamaguchi-Yau functional equations and the formulas of $F_1,F_2$, are direct consequences of the BCOV Feynman sum rule.

We show that Thurston’s skinning maps of Teichmüller space have finite fibers. The proof centers around a study of two subvarieties of the $${{\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{C})}$$ character variety of a surface—one associated with complex projective structures, and the other associated with a 3-manifold. Using the Morgan–Shalen compactification of the character variety and author’s results on holonomy limits of complex projective structures, we show that these subvarieties have only a discrete set of intersections.
