| Zusammenfassung: | The open topological string partition function in the background of a D-brane on a Calabi-Yau threefold specifies a state in the Hilbert space associated with the quantization of the underlying special geometry. This statement is a consequence of the extended holomorphic anomaly equation after an appropriate shift of the closed string variables, and can be viewed as the expression of background independence for the open-closed topological string. We also clarify various other aspects of the structure of the extended holomorphic anomaly equation. We conjecture that the collection of all D-branes furnishes a basis of the Hilbert space, and revisit the BPS interpretation of the open topological string wavefunction in this light. |
