Recursion Relations in Semirigid Topological Gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
A field theoretical realization of topological gravity is discussed in the semirigid geometry context. In particular, its topological nature is given by the relation between deRham cohomology and equivariant BRST cohomology and the fact that all but one of the physical operators are BRST-exact. The puncture equation and the dilaton equation of pure topological gravity are reproduced, following reference [1].

Semirigid Geometry
We provide an intrinsic description of N -super Riemann surfaces and TN -semirigid surfaces. Semirigid surfaces occur naturally in the description of topological gravity as well as topological supergravity. We show that such surfaces are obtained by an integrable reduction of the structure group of a complex supermanifold. We also discuss the supermoduli spaces of TN -semirigid surfaces and the...
متن کاملNotes on Topological String Theory and 2 d Quantum Gravity ∗
In these notes we give a review of topological string theory. We discuss twodimensional topological field theories, which represent its classical backgrounds. We describe their symmetries and the properties of the physical amplitudes. In the particular context of d < 1 we explain how topological string theory can be exactly solved, by deriving Schwinger-Dyson equations in the form of recursion ...

I develop a formalism for solving topological field theories explicitly, in the case when the explicit expression of the instantons is known. I solve topological Yang-Mills theory with the k = 1 Belavin et al. instanton and topological gravity with the Eguchi-Hanson instanton. It turns out that naively empty theories are indeed nontrivial. Many unexpected interesting hidden quantities (puncture...
متن کاملTwo Dimensional Kodaira-Spencer Theory and Three Dimensional Chern-Simons Gravity
Motivated by the six-dimensional formulation of Kodaira-Spencer theory for CalabiYau threefolds, we formulate a two-dimensional version and argue that this is the relevant field theory for the target space of local topological B-model with a geometry based on a Riemann surface. We show that the Ward identities of this quantum theory is equivalent to recursion relations recently proposed by Eyna...
متن کاملSolving Topological 2D Quantum Gravity Using Ward Identities
A topological procedure for computing correlation functions for any (1, q) model is presented. Our procedure can be used to compute any correlation function on the sphere as well as some correlation functions at higher genus. We derive new and simpler recursion relations that extend previously known results based on W constraints. In addition, we compute an effective contact algebra with multip...
