    The duality of 2 and 3-form theories of gravity is studied that at the classical level correspond to the topological A and B string field theories on the same Calabi-Yau three-fold (CY\(_3\)), respectively. To this end the authors use the Abelian duality in seven dimensions. They explicitly show that the Abelian duality of the 2 and 3-form gravity theories on a trivially fibred CY\(_3\times S^1\) gives, after Kaluza-Klein reduction, an S-duality between 2 and 3-form gravity theories on CY\(_3\). The massless sector of the 2-form field theory on CY\(_3\) corresponds to the A model string field theory. A discussion is made on the complex structure independence of the 2-form theory for a general Kähler manifold. The holomorphic anomaly equations for simply connected CY\(_3\) are derived.
