Invertible cohomological field theories and Weil-Petersson volumes

Yuri I. Manin, Peter Zograf (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We show that the generating function for the higher Weil–Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of stable curves with marked points can be obtained from Witten’s free energy by a change of variables given by Schur polynomials. Since this generating function has a natural extension to the moduli space of invertible Cohomological Field Theories, this suggests the existence of a “very large phase space”, correlation functions on which include Hodge integrals studied by C. Faber and R. Pandharipande....

Landau-Ginzburg models in real mirror symmetry

Johannes Walcher (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In recent years, mirror symmetry for open strings has exhibited some new connections between symplectic and enumerative geometry (A-model) and complex algebraic geometry (B-model) that in a sense lie between classical and homological mirror symmetry. I review the rôle played in this story by matrix factorizations and the Calabi-Yau/Landau-Ginzburg correspondence.
