In this lecture we review special Kaehler geometry of the moduli space of Calabi-Yau threefolds, and introduce the BCOV propagators in the B-model language. We derive a differential graded ring structure and reformulate the holomorphic anomaly equations for the topological string partition functions F_g.

IAS/ School of Science Joint Lecture - Drag on a Penetrable Disk in a Superfluid
Abstract The motion of a body through a superfluid can generate phenomena distinct from a normal viscous fluid. This includes the absence of drag below a critical body speed with the shedding o...
