Topological string in harmonic space and correlation functions in S^3 stringy cosmology

Abstract: We develop the harmonic space method for conifold and use it to study local complex deformations of

T^{a s t} S^{3}

preserving manifestly

S L (2, C)

isometry. We derive the perturbative manifestly

S L (2, C)

invariant partition function

m a t h c a l Z_{t o p}

of topological string B model on locally deformed conifold. Generic

n

momentum and winding modes of 2D

c = 1

non critical theory are described by highest

% u p s i l o n_{(n, 0)}

and lowest components

u p s i l o n_{(0, n)}

of

S L (2, C)

spin

s = f r a c n 2

multiplets

% (u p s i l o n_{(n - k, k)})

,

0 l e q k l e q n

and are shown to be naturally captured by harmonic monomials. Isodoublets (

n = 1

) describe uncoupled units of momentum and winding modes and are exactly realized as the

S L (2, C)

harmonic variables

U_{a l p h a}^{+}

and

V_{a l p h a}^{-}

. We also derive a dictionary giving the passage from Laurent (Fourier) analysis on

T^{a s t} S^{1}

(

S^{1}

) to the harmonic method on

T^{a s t} S^{3}

(

S^{3}

). The manifestly

S U (2, C)

covariant correlation functions of the

S^{3}

quantum cosmology model of Gukov-Saraikin-Vafa are also studied.
