Triangulated surfaces in twistor space: a kinematical set up for open/closed string duality
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We exploit the properties of the hyperbolic space 3 to discuss a simplicial setting for open/closed string duality based on (random) Regge triangulations decorated with null twistorial fields. We explicitly show that the twistorial N-points function, describing Dirichlet correlations over the moduli space of open N-bordered genus g surfaces, is naturally mapped into the Witten-Kontsevich intersection theory over the moduli space of N-pointed closed Riemann surfaces of the same genus. We also discuss various aspects of the geometrical setting which connects this model to PSL(2,) Chern-Simons theory.
