Matrix Factorizations And Mirror Symmetry: The Cubic Curve

arXiv:hep-th/0408243 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2006/11/006

Abstract

We revisit open string mirror symmetry for the elliptic curve, using matrix factorizations for describing D-branes on the B-model side. We show how flat coordinates can be intrinsically defined in the Landau-Ginzburg model, and derive the A-model partition function counting disk instantons that stretch between three D-branes. In mathematical terms, this amounts to computing the simplest Fukaya product m_2 from the LG mirror theory. In physics terms, this gives a systematic method for determining non-perturbative Yukawa couplings for intersecting brane configurations.
