The open-closed holography partition-function conjecture
The open-closed holography partition-function conjecture
Let be a holography package consisting of a smooth cyclic -category , an object , a trivialization , and a splitting . Let and be the backreacted closed and large open string field theory partition functions, respectively. Write and for the natural inclusion maps into , and let be the induced differential. Conjecture H. The partition function of the backreacted closed string field theory is homologous to that of the large open string field theory:
as elements of
This is the partition-function formulation of open-closed holography: the closed theory obtained by backreaction in the direction of the brane should agree homologically with the large open theory. The supplied text gives no evidence that the conjecture has been proved or refuted.
