The Extended Moduli Space of¶Special Lagrangian Submanifolds

Abstract:

It is well known that the moduli space of all deformations of a compact special Lagrangian submanifold X in a Calabi–Yau manifold Y within the class of special Lagrangian submanifolds is isomorphic to the first de Rham cohomology group of X. Reinterpreting the embedding data X⊂Y within the mathematical framework of the Batalin–Vilkovisky quantization, we find a natural deformation problem which extends the above moduli space to the full de Rham cohomology group of X.
