Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold. For $p\in M$, the tensor algebra of the negative part of the (complex) affinization of the tangent space of $M$ at $p$ has a natural structure of a meromorphic open-string vertex algebra. These meromorphic open-string vertex algebras form a vector bundle over $M$ with a connection. We …

Study meromorphic open-string vertex algebras and modules over Riemannian manifolds.

Motivated by the Moore-Segal axioms for an open-closed topological field theory, we consider planar open string topological field theories. We rigorously define a category 2Thick whose objects and morphisms can be thought of as open strings and diffeomorphism classes of planar open string worldsheets. Just as the categ…

We study topological open string amplitudes on orientifolds without fixed planes. We determine the contributions of the untwisted and twisted sectors as well as the BPS structure of the amplitudes. We illustrate our general results in various examples involving D-branes in toric orientifolds. We perform the computation…

We have developed a mathematical theory of the topological vertex--a theory that was original proposed by M. Aganagic, A. Klemm, M. Marino, and C. Vafa in hep-th/0305132 on effectively computing Gromov-Witten invariants of smooth toric Calabi-Yau threefolds derived from duality between open string theory of smooth Cala…

There is an interpretation of open string field theory in algebraic topology. An interpretation of closed string field theory can be deduced from this open string theory to obtain as well the interpretation of open and closed string field theory combined.

Study rationality of meromorphic functions between real algebraic sets in the plane.

We define a coalgebra structure for open strings transverse to any framed codimension 2 submanifold. When the submanifold is a knot in R^3, we show this structure recovers a specialization of the Ng cord algebra, a non-trivial knot invariant which is not determined by a number of other knot invariants.

We study the open string integrality invariants (LMOV invariants) for toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds with Aganagic-Vafa brane (AV-brane). In this paper, we focus on the case of the resolved conifold with one out AV-brane in any integer framing $τ$, which is the large $N$ duality of the Chern-Simons theory for a framed unknot…

Classifies Teichmüller curves in specific hyperelliptic components of meromorphic differentials.

We consider the issue of the slice invariance of refined topological string amplitudes, which means that they are independent of the choice of the preferred direction of the refined topological vertex. We work out two examples. The first example is a geometric engineering of five-dimensional U(1) gauge theory with a ma…

We study the local Killing Lie algebra of meromorphic almost rigid geometric structures on complex manifolds. This leads to classification results for compact complex manifolds bearing holomorphic rigid geometric structures.

This work is based on the approach developed by J.~Dorfmeister, F.~Pedit and H.~Wu [GANG and KITCS preprint, Report KITCS94-4-1] to construct maps $Φ:D\rightarrow R^3$, $D$ being the unit disk in $C$, whose images are surfaces of constant mean curvature. They start from certain meromorphic one forms, so called meromorp…

Let M be a complex nilmanifold, that is, a compact quotient of a nilpotent Lie group endowed with an invariant complex structure by a discrete lattice. A holomorphic differential on M is a closed, holomorphic 1-form. We show that $a(M)\leq k$, where $a(M)$ is the algebraic dimension $a(M)$ (i.e. the transcendence degre…

We construct a new equivariant cohomology theory for a certain class of differential vertex algebras, which we call the chiral equivariant cohomology. A principal example of a differential vertex algebra in this class is the chiral de Rham complex of Malikov-Schechtman-Vaintrob of a manifold with a group action. The ma…

The framed little 2-discs operad is homotopy equivalent to a cyclic operad. We show that the derived modular envelope of this cyclic operad (i.e., the modular operad freely generated in a homotopy invariant sense) is homotopy equivalent to the modular operad made from classifying spaces of diffeomorphism groups of 3-di…

The Bergman space and conformally flat 2-disk operads are linked to vertex operator algebras.

We prove in this article that given a linearly concave domain $D$ in the projective space $\Bbb{CP}^{n}$, a 1-dimensional comlex analytic set $V$ in $D$, and a meromorphic 1-form $φ$ on $V$, $V$ is a subset of an algebraic variety of $\Bbb{CP}^{n}$ and $φ$ is the restriction to $V$ of an algebraic 1-form on $\Bbb{CP}^{…

Let F be a codimension one singular holomorphic foliation on a compact complex manifold M. Assume that there exists a meromorphic vector field X on M generically transversal to F. Then, we prove that F is the meromorphic pull-back of an algebraic foliation on an algebraic manifold N, or F is transversely projective out…

We introduce two $K$-theories, one for vector bundles whose fibers are modules of vertex operator algebras, another for vector bundles whose fibers are modules of associative algebras. We verify the cohomological properties of these $K$-theories, and construct a natural homomorphism from the VOA K-theory to the associa…

We give a vertex algebra proof of the Berglund-Hübsch duality of nondegenerate invertible potentials. We suggest a way to unify it with the Batyrev-Borisov duality of reflexive Gorenstein cones.

We construct bundles of modules of vertex operator algebras, and prove the rigidity and vanishing theorem for the Dirac operator on loop space twisted by such bundles. This result generalizes many previous results.

Extended Alexander groups are used to define an invariant for open virtual strings. Examples of non-commuting open strings and a ribbon-concordance obstruction are given. An example is given of a slice virtual open string that is not ribbon. Definitions are extended to open n-strings.

We introduce a combinatorial model based on measured foliations in surfaces which captures the phenomenology of open/closed string interactions. The predicted equations are derived in this model, and new equations can be discovered as well. In particular, several new equations together with known transformations genera…

Pólya's theorem extended to meromorphic functions on Riemann surfaces.

We construct a spectral sequence that converges to the cohomology of the chiral de Rham complex over a Calabi-Yau hypersurface and whose first term is a vertex algebra closely related to the Landau-Ginburg orbifold. As an application, we prove an explicit orbifold formula for the elliptic genus of Calabi-Yau hypersurfa…

Edge-homotopy and vertex-homotopy are equivalence relations on spatial graphs which are generalizations of Milnor's link-homotopy. We introduce some edge (resp. vertex)-homotopy invariants of spatial graphs by applying the Sato-Levine invariant for the 2-component constituent algebraically split links and show examples…

We show how to construct an N=1 superconformal vertex algebra (SCVA) from any Riemannian manifold. When the Riemannian manifold has special holonomy groups, we discuss the extended supersymmetry. When the manifold is complex or Kähler, we also generalize the construction to obtain N=2 SCVA's. We study the BRST cohomolo…

The paper is constructed in two parts.In the first part we introduce the concept of the algebra of Q-meromorphic functions on the quantum plane.The A (q)-algebra of Q-analytic functions considered in[6]is seen as a proper subalgebra. In the second part we find a formula for the curvature tensor on this algebra. It is s…

We introduce logarithmic Picard algebroids, a natural class of Lie algebroids adapted to a simple normal crossings divisor on a smooth projective variety. We show that such algebroids are classified by a subspace of the de Rham cohomology of the divisor complement determined by its mixed Hodge structure. We then solve …

New surfaces found in 5D space.

Our aim is to introduce and advocate non-$Σ$ (non-symmetric) modular operads. While ordinary modular operads were inspired by the structure of the moduli space of stable complex curves, non-$Σ$ modular operads model surfaces with open strings outputs. An immediate application of our theory is a short proof that the mod…
