活动内容:Title: Topological Strings on Compact Calabi-Yau manifolds

Abstract: I discuss some progress we made on computing higher genus topological string amplitudes on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds. We use the polynomial formalism of Yamaguchi and Yau to improve the BCOV method for solving holomorphic anomaly equation, and we also propose novel boundary conditions for topological string amplitudes at special points of the moduli space. I also introduce some recent progress in non-compact case using matrix models.
