Title:
Calabi-Yau geometry and quantum B-model

Speaker:
Si Li

Abstract:
We discuss the Kadaira-Spencer gauge theory (or BCOV theory) on Calabi-Yau geometry. We explain Givental's loop space formalism at cochain level which leads to a degenerate BV theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds. Homotopic BV quantization together with a splitting of the Hodge filtration lead to higher genus B-model. We illustrate such quantization and higher genus mirror symmetry by the elliptic curve example.
