Type B Topological Matter , Kodaira - Spencer Theory , and Mirror Symmetry

چکیده
Perturbing usual type B topological matter with vector (0, 1)-forms we find a topological theory which contains explicitly Kodaira-Spencer deformation theory. It is shown that, in genus zero, three-point correlation functions give the Yukawa couplings for a generic point in the moduli space of complex structures. This generalization of type B topological matter seems to be the correct framework to understand mirror symmetry in terms of two-dimensional topological field theories.

Two 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...

Some aspects of Mirror symmetry are reviewed, with an emphasis on more recent results extending mirror transform to higher genus Riemann surfaces and its relation to the Kodaira-Spencer theory of gravity 1 .

One of the methods to obtain Frobenius manifold structures is via DGBV (differential Gerstenhaber-Batalin-Vilkovisky) algebra construction. An important problem is how to identify Frobenius manifold structures constructed from two different DGBV algebras. For DGBV algebras with suitable conditions, we show the functorial property of a construction of deformations of the multiplicative structure...
متن کاملLocal Mirror Symmetry at Higher Genus
We discuss local mirror symmetry for higher-genus curves. Specifically, we consider the topological string partition function from higher genus curves contained in a Fano surface within a Calabi-Yau. Our main example is the local P case. The Kodaira-Spencer theory of gravity, tailored to this local geometry, can be solved to compute this partition function. Then, using the results of Gopakumar ...
متن کاملThe topological B model as a twisted spinning particle
The B–twisted topological sigma model coupled to topological gravity is supposed to be described by an ordinary field theory: a type of holomorphic Chern–Simons theory for the open string, and the Kodaira–Spencer theory for the closed string. We show that the B model can be represented as a particle theory, obtained by reducing the sigma model to one dimension, and replacing the coupling to top...
