چکیده
This is the first of two papers which construct a purely algebraic counterpart to the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants (at all genera). These GromovWitten type invariants depend on a Calabi-Yau A∞ category, which plays the role of the target in ordinary Gromov-Witten theory. When the Fukaya category of a compact symplectic manifold X is used, it is shown, under certain assumptions, that the usual Gromov-Witten invariants are recovered. The assumptions are that a good theory of open-closed Gromov-Witten invariants exists for X, and that the natural map from the Hochschild homology of the Fukaya category of X to the ordinary homology of X is an isomorphism.

The Witten Genus , after Kevin Costello
Definition 1.1. Given a ring R, a genus with values in R is a ring homomorphism, Ω ⊗Q→ R, where Ω is the G-bordism ring. For example, the Â-genus and L-genus are ring maps from Ω⊗Q→ Q. The Atiyah-Singer theorem shows that  can be refined to a genus Ω⊗Q→ Z. The L-genus (or signature) is defined on Ω⊗Q, and the Todd genus is defined on the complex cobordism category. We can define genera via mul...
متن کاملA dual version of the ribbon graph decompositionof moduli space
In this note, I discuss a dual version of the ribbon graph decomposition of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with boundary and marked points, which I introduced in the unpublished preprint [1], and used in [2] to construct open-closed topological conformal field theories. This dual version of the ribbon graph decomposition is a compact orbi-cell complex with a natural weak homotopy equival...
