The Ground Ring of N=2 Minimal String Theory

Abstract

We study the \NN=2\NN=2 string theory or the \NN=4\NN=4 topological string on the deformed CHS background. That is, we consider the \NN=2\NN=2 minimal model coupled to the \NN=2\NN=2 Liouville theory. This model describes holographically the topological sector of Little String Theory. We use degenerate vectors of the respective \NN=2\NN=2 Verma modules to find the set of BRST cohomologies at ghost number zero--the ground ring, and exhibit its structure. Physical operators at ghost number one constitute a module of the ground ring, so the latter can be used to constrain the S-matrix of the theory. We also comment on the inequivalence of BRST cohomologies of the \NN=2\NN=2 string theory in different pictures.
