Graded Chern-Simons field theory and graded topological D-branes
We discuss graded D-brane systems of the topological A model on a Calabi-Yau threefold, by means of their string field theory. We give a detailed analysis of the extended string field action, showing that it satisfies the classical master equation, and construct the associated BV system. The analysis is entirely general and it applies to any collection of D-branes (of distinct grades) wrapping ...
متن کاملGraded Lagrangians, exotic topological D-branes and enhanced triangulated categories
I point out that (BPS saturated) A-type D-branes in superstring compactification on Calabi-Yau threefolds correspond to graded special Lagrangian submanifolds, a particular case of the graded Lagrangian submanifolds considered by M. Kontsevich and P. Seidel. Combining this with the categorical formulation of cubic string field theory in the presence of D-branes, I consider a collection of topol...
متن کاملTopological Entanglement of Polymers and Chern–simons Field Theory
In recent times some interesting field theoretical descriptions of the statistical mechanics of entangling polymers have been proposed by various authors. In these approaches, a single test polymer fluctuating in a background of static polymers or in a lattice of obstacles is considered. The extension to the case in which the configurations of two or more polymers become non-static is not strai...
متن کاملGraded D-branes and skew categories
I describe extended gradings of open topological field theories in two dimensions in terms of skew categories, proving a result which alows one to translate between the formalism of graded open 2d TFTs and equivariant cyclic categories. As an application of this formalism, I describe the open 2d TFT of graded D-branes in Landau-Ginzburg models in terms of an equivariant cyclic structure on the ...
متن کاملChern-Simons Theory and Topological Strings
We review the relation between Chern-Simons gauge theory and topological string theory on noncompact Calabi-Yau spaces. This relation has made possible to give an exact solution of topological string theory on these spaces to all orders in the string coupling constant. We focus on the construction of this solution, which is encoded in the topological vertex, and we emphasize the implications of...
