Title:
The higher genus B model and BCOV theory

Speaker:
Kevin Costello

Abstract:
We will start by reviewing the role of Givental's Fock space formalism in abstract topological field theory, and in the B model. This will serve as a motivation for the introduction of the BCOV quantum field theory on a Calabi-Yau manifold. The last two lectures will describe a class of integrable hierarchies that appear in BCOV theory on
