Topological strings in generalized complex space
Abstract
A two-dimensional topological sigma-model on a generalized Calabi-Yau target space $X$ is defined. The model is constructed in Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism using only a generalized complex structure $J$ and a pure spinor $\rho$ on $X$. In the present construction the algebra of $Q$-transformations automatically closes off-shell, the model transparently depends only on $J$, the algebra of observables and correlation functions for topologically trivial maps in genus zero are easily defined. The extended moduli space appears naturally. The familiar action of the twisted N=2 CFT can be recovered after a gauge fixing. In the open case, we consider an example of generalized deformation of complex structure by a holomorphic Poisson bivector $\beta$ and recover holomorphic noncommutative Kontsevich $*$-product.
