Given a monotone Lagrangian submanifold invariant under a loop of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms, we compute a piece of the closed-open string map into the Hochschild cohomology of the Lagrangian which captures the homology class of the loop's…
We study the coupling of the closed string to the open string in the topological B-model. These couplings can be viewed as gauge invariant observables in the open string field theory, or as deformations of the differential graded algebra…
The goal of this work is to describe a categorical formalism for (Extended) Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) and present them as functors from a suitable category of cobordisms with corners to a linear category, generalizing 2d…
There is a homotopy hypercommutative algebra structure on the cohomology of a Calabi-Yau variety. The truncation of this homotopy hypercommutative algebra to a strict hypercommutative algebra is well-known as a mathematical realization of…
We study a flat connection defined on the open-closed deformation space of open string mirror symmetry for type II compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds with D-branes. We use flatness and integrability conditions to define…
A class of partially wrapped Fukaya categories in $T^* N$ are proven to be well defined and then studied. In the case of $N$ diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^m \times \mathbb{T}^n$, it is shown that these categories provide homological mirrors…
A few years ago, Fang, Lu and Yoshikawa conjectured that a certain string-theoretic invariant of Calabi-Yau threefolds is a birational invariant. We prove a weak form of this conjecture.
We take a novel lattice-theoretic approach to the $\tau$-cluster morphism category $\mathfrak{T}(A)$ of a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and define the category via the lattice of torsion classes $\mathrm{tors } A$. Using the lattice…
We study deformations of closed string theory by primary fields of conformal weight $(1,1)$, using conformal techniques on the complex plane. A canonical surface integral formalism for computing commutators in a non-holomorphic theory is…
In this paper, we generalize Walcher's computation of the open Gromov-Witten invariants of the quintic hypersurface to Fano and Calabi-Yau projective hypersurfaces. Our main tool is the open virtual structure constants. We also propose the…
We show how topological open string theory amplitudes can be computed by using relative stable morphisms in the algebraic category. We achieve our goal by explicitly working through an example which has been previously considered by Ooguri…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring spectrum. We construct the wrapped Donaldson--Fukaya category with coefficients in $R$ of any stably polarized Liouville sector. We show that any two $R$-orientable and isomorphic objects admit $R$-orientations…
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…
A holographic perspective to study and characterize field spaces that arise in string compactifications is suggested. A concrete correspondence is developed by studying two-dimensional moduli spaces in supersymmetric string…
This review summarizes the recent developments in topological string theory from the author's perspective, mostly focused on aspects of research in which the author is involved. After a brief overview of the theory, we discuss two aspects…
We use chain level genus zero Gromov-Witten theory to associate to any closed monotone symplectic manifold a formal group (loosely interpreted), whose Lie algebra is the odd degree cohomology of the manifold (with vanishing bracket). When…
In this Part II, D(10.2), of D(10), we take D(10.1) (arXiv:1302.2054 [math.AG]) as the foundation to define the notion of $Z$-semistable morphisms from general Azumaya nodal curves, of genus $\ge 2$, with a fundamental module to a…
We establish the continuous functoriality of wrapped Fukaya categories with respect to Liouville automorphisms, yielding a way to probe the homotopy type of the automorphism group of a Liouville sector. These methods prove Liouville and…
We prove the surprising fact that the infinity-category of stabilized Liouville sectors is a localization of an ordinary category of stabilized Liouville sectors and strict sectorial embeddings. From the perspective of homotopy theory, this…
We uncover a Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT)-type factorization of closed string amplitudes into open string amplitudes for closed string states carrying winding and momentum in toroidal compactifications. The winding and momentum closed string…
