Description
I'll discuss a conjectural framework for a twisted form of the AdS/CFT correspondence, which describes the operator product of a large N limit of a twisted form of N=4 super Yang-Mills in terms of a dual gravitational theory. The gravitational theory relevant for the twist we use is the 5-complex dimensional analog of the BCOV Kodaira-Spencer theory.
