Abstract

We propose a formula for the exact central charge of a B-type D-brane that is expected to hold in all regions of the Kahler moduli space of a Calabi-Yau. For Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds we propose explicit expressions for the mathematical objects that enter into the central charge formula. We show that our results are consistent with results in FJRW theory and the hemisphere partition function of the gauged linear sigma model.
