We give a classification of open equivariant topological conformal field theories in terms of Calabi-Yau $A_\infty$-categories endowed with a group action.
This is the first of two papers which construct a purely algebraic counterpart to the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants (at all genera). These Gromov-Witten type invariants depend on a Calabi-Yau A-infinity category, which plays the role…
We show that the large affine Hecke category defines an oriented, fully extended topological field theory. More generally, we establish conditions under which ind-coherent convolution categories define such theories, analogously to known…
We show that any open 2-dimensional topological field theory valued in a symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category (with suitable colimits) extends canonically to an open-closed field theory whose value at the circle is the Hochschild homology…
$A_\infty$ categories are a mathematical structure that appears in topological field theory, string topology, and symplectic topology. This paper studies the cyclic homology of a Calabi-Yau $A_\infty$ category, and shows that it is…
The overarching goal of this thesis was to develop categorical methods that connect enumerative geometry, as studied in mirror symmetry, with large $N$ gauge theories. In the first part, we established a relation between graph complexes,…
We develop a local-to-global formalism for constructing Calabi-Yau structures for global sections of constructible sheaves or cosheaves of categories. The required data - an isomorphism of the sheafified Hochschild homology with the…
In this short note, we classify linear categorified open topological field theories in dimension two by pivotal Grothendieck-Verdier categories, a type of monoidal category equipped with a weak, not necessarily rigid duality. In combination…
This paper gives a construction, using heat kernels, of differential forms on the moduli space of metrised ribbon graphs, or equivalently on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. The construction depends on a manifold with a…
We study orbifolds of two-dimensional topological field theories using defects. If the TFT arises as the twist of a superconformal field theory, we recover results on the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of the orbifold theory as well as…
Categorical enumerative invariants of a Calabi-Yau category, encoded as the partition function of the associated closed string field theory (SFT), conjecturally equal Gromov-Witten invariants when applied to Fukaya categories. Part of this…
We construct special pairs of quantum sigma models on Kahler Calabi-Yau and non-Kahler Fu-Yau manifolds which flow to the same conformal field theories in their "small-radius" phases. This smooth description of a novel type of topology…
This paper investigates a non simply-laced version of cluster structures for 2-Calabi-Yau or stably 2-Calabi-Yau categories over arbitrary fields. It results that 2-Calabi-Yau or stably 2-Calabi-Yau categories having a cluster tilting…
We show that any complex (respectively real) representation of finite group naturally generates a open-closed (respectively Klein) topological field theory over complex numbers. We relate the 1-point correlator for the projective plane in…
Open topological string partition function on compact Calabi-Yau threefolds satisfies the extended holomorphic anomaly equation. By direct integration, we solve these equations and obtain partition functions for first several genus and…
In this paper we use trivial defects to define global taffy-like operations on string worldsheets, which preserve the field theory. We fold open and closed strings on a space X into open strings on products of multiple copies of X, and…
We propose a family of differential models for B-type open-closed topological Landau-Ginzburg theories defined by a pair $(X,W)$, where $X$ is any non-compact Calabi-Yau manifold and $W$ is any holomorphic complex-valued function defined on…
We construct symmetric monoidal higher categories of iterated Calabi-Yau cospans, that are noncommutative analogs of iterated lagrangian correspondences. We actually give a general (and functorial) procedure that applies to iterated…
Open-closed Deligne--Mumford field theories are chain-level field theories based on moduli spaces of stable curves with boundary. We associate to a relatively spin embedded Lagrangian $L \subset (X,\omega)$ such an open-closed DMFT. It…
We consider the holomorphic twist of the worldvolume theory of flat D$(2k-1)$-branes transversely probing a Calabi--Yau manifold. A chain complex, constructed using the BV formalism, computes the local observables in the holomorphically…
