Abstract

We propose a family of differential models for B-type open-closed topological Landau-Ginzburg theories defined by a pair (X,W)(X,W), where XX is any non-compact Calabi-Yau manifold and WW is any holomorphic complex-valued function defined on XX whose critical set is compact. The models are constructed at cochain level using smooth data, including the twisted Dolbeault algebra of polyvector valued forms and a twisted Dolbeault category of holomorphic factorizations of WW. We give explicit proposals for cochain level versions of the bulk and boundary traces and for the bulk-boundary and boundary-bulk maps of the Landau-Ginzburg theory. We prove that most of the axioms of an open-closed topological field theory are satisfied on cohomology and conjecture that the remaining axioms are also satisfied.
