Abstract

We propose a family of differential models for B-type open-closed topological Landau-Ginzburg theories defined by a pair (X,W), where X is any non-compact Calabi-Yau manifold and W is any holomorphic complex-valued function defined on X whose critical set is compact. The models are constructed at cochain level using smooth data, including the twisted Dolbeault algebra of polyvector-valued forms and a twisted Dolbeault category of holomorphic factorizations of W. We give explicit proposals for cochain level versions of the bulk and boundary traces and for the bulk-boundary and boundary-bulk maps of the Landau-Ginzburg theory.We prove that most of the axioms of an open-closed TFT (topological field theory) are satisfied on cohomology and conjecture that the remaining two axioms (namely non-degeneracy of bulk and boundary traces and the topological Cardy constraint) are also satisfied.
