The Holomorphic Anomaly of Topological Strings

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

We show that the BRS operator of the topological string B model is not holomorphic in the complex structure of the target space. This implies that the so-called holomorphic anomaly of topological strings should not be interpreted as a BRS anomaly.
