Bulk-boundary OPE and deformation matching conjecture for branes
Bulk-boundary OPE and deformation matching conjecture for branes
Let be an affine scheme associated with an associative algebra , and let and be sheaves or branes on . In the B-model, consider the pairing
Bulk-boundary deformation conjecture. Such a mathematical pairing should realize a bulk-boundary operator product expansion under deformation of the BRST operator, and mathematical or geometrical deformations of a sheaf should match physical deformations of the corresponding branes in the sigma model.
The claim proposes a correspondence between bulk polyvector fields, boundary Ext groups, and physical brane deformations. The source presents it as a natural conjecture but gives no verification or resolution, so its general validity remains open.
