Comments on Central Charge of Topological Sigma Model with Calabi-Yau Target Space
Abstract
We study a central charge Z of a one parameter family of Calabi-Yau d-fold embedded in CP^{d+1}. For a d-fold case, we construct the Z concretely and analyze charge vectors of D-branes and intersection forms of associated cycles. We find the charges are described as some kinds of Mukai vectors. They are represented as products of Chern characters of coherent sheaves restricted on the Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and square roots of A-roof genera of the d-folds. By combining results of the topological sigma model and the data of the CFT calculations in the Gepner model, we find that the Z is determined and is specified by a set of integers. It labels boundary states in special classes where associated states are represented as tensor products of boundary states for constituent minimal models. The Z has a moduli parameter t that describes a deformation of a moduli space in the open string channel with B-type boundary conditions. Also monodromy matrices and homology cycles are investigated.
