Computations on B-model geometric transitions

Abstract

We study geometric transitions on Calabi- Yau manifolds from the perspective of the $B$ model. Looking toward physically motivated predictions, it is shown that the traditional conifold transition is too simple a case to yield meaningful results. The mathematics of a nontrivial example (of Aganagic and Vafa) is worked out carefully, and the expected equivalence is demonstrated.
