Topological Orbifold Models and Quantum Cohomology Rings

Abstract

We discuss the toplogical sigma model on an orbifold target space. We describe the moduli space of classical minima for computing correlation functions involving twisted operators, and show, through a detailed computation of an orbifold of ${\mathbf{CP}}^1$ by the dihedral group $D_4,$ how to compute the complete ring of observables. Through this procedure, we compute all the rings from dihedral ${\mathbf{CP}}^1$ orbifolds; we note a similarity with rings derived from perturbed $D-$series superpotentials of the $A-D-E$ classification of $N=2$ minimal models. We then consider ${\mathbf{CP}}^2/D_4,$ and show how the techniques of topological-anti-topological fusion might be used to compute twist field correlation functions for nonabelian orbifolds.
