Topological Sigma B Model in 4-Dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-12-07 v2

Abstract

We propose a 4-dimensional version of topological sigma B-model, governing maps from a smooth compact 4-manifold M to a Calabi-Yau target manifold X. The theory depends on on complex structure of X, while is independent of Kaehler metric of X. The theory is also a 4-dimensiona topological field theory in the sense that the theory is independent of variation of Riemannian metric of the source 4-manifold M, potentially leading to new smooth invariant of 4-manifolds. We argue that the theory also comes with a topological family parametrized by the extended moduli space of complex structures.
