Topological string geometry
Abstract
Perturbative string amplitudes are correctly derived from the string geometry theory, which is one of the candidates of a non-perturbative formulation of string theory. In order to derive non-perturbative effects rather easily, we formulate topological string geometry theory. We derive the perturbative partition function of the topological string theory from fluctuations around a classical solution in the topological string geometry theory.
