We define a class of topological A-models on a collection of Riemann surfaces, whose boundaries are sewn together along the seams. The target spaces for the Riemann surfaces are the Grassmanians Gr_{m_i,n} with the common value of n, and…
We study N=2 nonlinear two dimensional sigma models with boundaries and their massive generalizations (the Landau-Ginzburg models). These models are defined over either Kahler or bihermitian target space manifolds. We determine the most…
The Landau-Ginzburg formulation of two-dimensional topological sigma models on the target space with positive first Chern class is considered. The effective Landau-Ginzburg superpotential takes the form of logarithmic type which is…
We consider D-branes wrapped around supersymmetric cycles of Calabi-Yau manifolds from the viewpoint of N=2 Landau-Ginzburg models with boundary as well as by consideration of boundary states in the corresponding Gepner models. The…
Witten's topological B-model on a Calabi-Yau background is known to reproduce, in the open string sector, the derived category of coherent sheaves. When the target space is a complex torus, the topological model enjoys a non-geometric…
A universal integrable hierarchy underlying topological Landau-Ginzburg models of D-tye is presented. Like the dispersionless Toda hierarchy, the new hierarchy has two distinct (``positive" and ``negative") set of flows. Special solutions…
Amplitudes in open topological string theory may be described completely by certain A-infinity-categories. We detail a general construction of all cyclic minimal models for a given A-infinity-algebra and apply this result to the case of N=2…
In this paper we prove an existence of some type of equivalences between triangulated categories of singularities for varieties of different dimensions. This class of equivalences generalizes so called Kn\"orrer periodicity. As consequence…
We survey the recent progress in defining open enumerative theories for Landau-Ginzburg models. We illustrate the ideas required to develop these new foundations. In particular, we describe how to define the open enumerative invariants as…
A large class of D-branes in Calabi-Yau spaces can be constructed at the Gepner points using the techniques of boundary conformal field theory. In this note we develop methods that allow to compute open string amplitudes for such D-branes.…
We describe a mathematically rigorous differential model for B-type open-closed topological Landau-Ginzburg theories defined by a pair $(X,W)$, where $X$ is a non-compact K\"ahlerian manifold with holomorphically trivial canonical line…
In this paper we develop a graded tilting theory for gauged Landau-Ginzburg models of regular sections in vector bundles over projective varieties. Our main theoretical result describes - under certain conditions - the bounded derived…
In this article, we study geometric aspects of semi-arithmetic Riemann surfaces by means of number theory and hyperbolic geometry. First, we show the existence of infinitely many semi-arithmetic Riemann surfaces of various shapes and prove…
We investigate representations of mapping class groups of surfaces that arise from the untwisted Drinfeld double of a finite group G, focusing on surfaces without marked points or with one marked point. We obtain concrete descriptions of…
We study B-type D-branes in linear sigma models with Abelian gauge groups. The most important finding is the grade restriction rule. It classifies representations of the gauge group on the Chan-Paton factor, which can be used to define a…
In this paper we establish an equivalence between the category of graded D-branes of type B in Landau-Ginzburg models with homogeneous superpotential W and the triangulated category of singularities of the fiber of W over zero. The main…
We define topological Landau-Ginzburg models on a world-sheet foam, that is, on a collection of 2-dimensional surfaces whose boundaries are sewn together along the edges of a graph. We use matrix factorizations in order to formulate the…
The open string spectra of the B-type D-branes of the N=2 E-models are calculated. Using these results we match the boundary states to the matrix factorisations of the corresponding Landau-Ginzburg models. The identification allows us to…
We consider the Grassmannian X of (n-k)-dimensional subspaces of an n-dimensional complex vector space. We describe a `mirror dual' Landau-Ginzburg model for X consisting of the complement of a particular anti-canonical divisor in a…
A method of determining the mass spectrum of BPS D-branes in any phase limit of a gauged linear sigma model is introduced. A ring associated to monodromy is defined and one considers K-theory to be a module over this ring. A simple but…
