Calabi-Yau manifolds (algebro-geometric aspects) (14J32) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30) Topological field theories in quantum mechanics (81T45) String and superstring theories in gravitational theory (83E30)

Abstract: We construct a gauge fixed action for topological membranes on $G_2$-manifold such that its bosonic part is the standard membrane theory in a particular gauge. We prove that quantum mechanically the path-integral in this gauge localizes on associative submanifolds. Moreover on $Mimes{S}^1$ the theory naturally reduces to the standard A-model on Calabi-Yau manifold and to a membrane theory localized on special Lagrangian submanifolds. We discuss some properties of topological membrane theory on $G_2$-manifolds. We also generalize our construction to topological $p$--branes on special manifolds by exploring a relation between vector cross product structures and TFTs.
