The matrix factorisations of the D-model

The fundamental matrix factorisations of the D-model superpotential are found and identified with the boundary states of the corresponding conformal field theory. The analysis is performed for both GSO-projections. We also comment on the relation of this analysis to the theory of surface singularities and their orbifold description.Comment: 23 pages, LaTe

Calculations for Mirror Symmetry with D-branes

We study normal functions capturing D-brane superpotentials on several one- and two-parameter Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and complete intersections in weighted projective space. We calculate in the B-model and interpret the results using mirror symmetry in the large volume regime, albeit without identifying the precise A-model geometry in all cases. We identify new classes of extensions of Picard-Fuchs equations, as well as a novel type of topology changing phase transition involving quantum D-branes. A 4-d domain wall which is obtained in one region of closed string moduli space from wrapping a four-chain interpolating between two Lagrangian submanifolds is, for other values of the parameters, represented by a disk ending on a single Lagrangian.Comment: 42 page

Integrability of the N=2 boundary sine-Gordon model

We construct a boundary Lagrangian for the N=2 supersymmetric sine-Gordon model which preserves (B-type) supersymmetry and integrability to all orders in the bulk coupling constant g. The supersymmetry constraint is expressed in terms of matrix factorisations.Comment: LaTeX, 19 pages, no figures; v2: title changed, minor improvements, refs added, to appear in J. Phys. A: Math. Ge

Landau-Ginzburg Realization of Open String TFT.

We investigate B-type topological Landau-Ginzburg theory with one variable, with D2-brane boundary conditions. We find that the allowed brane configurations are determined in terms of the possible factorizations of the superpotential, and compute the corresponding open string chiral rings. These are characterized by bosonic and fermionic generators that satisfy certain relations. Moreover we show that the disk correlators, being continuous functions of deformation parameters, satisfy the topological sewing constraints, thereby proving consistency of the theory. In addition we show that the open string LG model is, in its content, equivalent to a certain triangulated category introduced by Kontsevich, and thus may be viewed as a concrete physical realization of it.Comment: Latex, 29p, 1 fig, refs added, various minor corrections, example section droppe
