Abstract

We study a Lie algebra of formal vector fields WnW_n with its application to the perturbative deformed holomorphic symplectic structure in the A-model, and a Calabi-Yau manifold with boundaries in the B-model. A relevant concept in the vertex operator algebra and the BRST cohomology is that of the elliptic genera (the one-loop string partition function). We show that the elliptic genera can be written in terms of spectral functions of the hyperbolic three-geometry (which inherits the cohomology structure of BRST-like operator). We show that equivalence classes of deformations are described by a Hochschild cohomology theory of the DG-algebra A=(A,Q){\mathfrak A} = (A, Q), Q=ˉ+deformQ =\bar{\partial}+\partial_{\rm deform}, which is defined to be the cohomology of (1)nQ+dHoch(-1)^n Q +d_{\rm Hoch}. Here ˉ\bar{\partial} is the initial non-deformed BRST operator while deform\partial_{\rm deform} is the deformed part whose algebra is a Lie algebra of linear vector fields gln{\rm gl}_n. We discuss the identification of the harmonic structure (HT(X);HΩ(X))(HT^\bullet(X); H\Omega_\bullet(X)) of affine space XX and the group ExtXn(O,O){\rm Ext}_{X}^n({\cal O}_{\triangle}, {\cal O}_{\triangle}) (the HKR isomorphism), and bulk-boundary deformation pairing.
