The operators in topological string theory represent the algebra of operators in the full string theory that preserve a certain amount of supersymmetry. Topological string theory may be obtained by a topological twist of the worldsheet description of ordinary string theory: the operators are given different... Read enhanced Wikipedia article

    Topological string theory

    In theoretical physics, topological string theory is a simplified version of string theory. The operators in topological string theory represent the algebra of operators in the full string theory that preserve a certain amount of supersymmetry.
