Black hole entropy and topological strings on generalized CY manifolds

Abstract

The H. Ooguri, A. Strominger and C. Vafa conjecture $Z_{BH}=|Z_{top}{|}^2$ is extended for the topological strings on generalized CY manifolds. It is argued that the classical black hole entropy is given by the generalized Hitchin functional, which defines by critical points a generalized complex structure on $X$. This geometry differs from an ordinary geometry if $b_1(X)$ does not vanish. In a critical point the generalized Hitchin functional equals to Legendre transform of the free energy of generalized topological string. The examples of $T^6$ and $T^2\times K3$ are considered in details.
