Topological B-model and cˆ=1 string theory

Abstract: We study the topological B-model on a deformed Z 2 orbifolded conifold by investigating variation of complex structures via quantum Kodaira-Spencer theories. The fermionic/brane formulation together with systematic utilization of symmetries of the geometry gives rise to a free fermion realization of the amplitudes. We derive Ward identities which solve the perturbed free energy exactly. We also obtain the corresponding Kontsevich-like matrix model. All these confirm the recent conjecture on the connection of t… Show more

“…The reason for this is that we can now make contact with the higher genus analysis described in [21], which is equivalent to the Kodaira-Spencer description of the topological string [30]. See also [4,6], where similar techniques are used. To do this we need to consider [10,21] a superpotential given by…”

“…It is well known that the topological theory on the conifold is perturbatively equivalent to c = 1 bosonic non-critical string theory at self-dual radius, and hence to a matrix model [2]. In fact, there are quite general correspondences between matrix models and topological strings on non-compact Calabi-Yaus based on ground ring considerations [3,4,5,6].…”

“…Apart from the constructing of the gauge sector of multiple M2-branes, Chern-Simons theories have also been used for analyzing open strings ending on a D-brane in the A-model topological string theory [26]. The holomorphic Chern-Simons theory is also used for analyzing the B-model in the string theory [27].…”

“…It is possible for D-branes to end on other objects in string theory [35]- [39]. The Chern-Simons theory has been used for analyzing a system of open strings ending on D-branes in the the A-model topological string theory [40], and the Holomorphic Chern-Simons theory has been used for analyzing the B-model in the string theory [41]. Thus, it is important to study the Chern-Simons theory in presence of a boundary.…”
