摘要
Starting from the geometrical construction of special Lagrangian submanifolds of a toric variety, we identify a certain subclass of A-type D-branes in the linear sigma model for a Calabi–Yau manifold and its mirror with the A- and B-type Recknagel–Schomerus boundary states of the Gepner model, by reproducing topological properties such as their labeling, intersection, and the relationships that exist in the homology lattice of the D-branes. In the non-linear sigma model phase these special Lagrangians reproduce an old construction of 3-cycles relevant for computing periods of the Calabi–Yau, and provide insight into other results in the literature on special Lagrangian submanifolds on compact Calabi–Yau manifolds. The geometrical construction of rational boundary states suggests several ways in which new Gepner model boundary states may be constructed.
