From Zwiebach invariants to Getzler relation (Q2385030)

The authors introduce the notion of Zwiebach invariants that generalize Gromov-Witten invariants and homotopical algebra structures. One of the main results in the paper is a new interpretation of the Barannikov-Kontsevich construction for the WDVV equations. The authors gives a graph theoretical description (via trivalent trees) of the solution of Barannikov and Kontsevich. Among the other applications, constructions in this work give a solution to Getzler's elliptic equation. To show this, a new axiom, 1/12 axiom, is introduced.
