D>2 Topological String

Abstract

A D>2 topological string is presented by coupling the 2d topological gravity with the twisted version of the N=2 superconformal matter with c=3k/(k-2). The latter is shown to admit k+1 chiral primary fields from the SL(2,R)k/U(1) unitary irreducible representations. The analysis of topological contact interactions along with the consistency requirement lead to recursion relations of correlation functions, that are convertable to the Virasoro constraints on the perturbed partition function. It is further expected to satisfy the nonlinear W(k-2)∞ constraints associated with the graded algebra SL(k,2), and thus the model is completely solvable at arbitrary genus of the surface.
