BRST-Invariant Deformations of Geometric Structures in Topological Field Theories
Abstract
We study a Lie algebra of formal vector fields 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 , , which is defined to be the cohomology of . Here is the initial non-deformed BRST operator while is the deformed part whose algebra is a Lie algebra of linear vector fields . We discuss the identification of the harmonic structure of affine space and the group (the HKR isomorphism), and bulk-boundary deformation pairing.
