Dispersionless Integrable Hierarchy via Kodaira-Spencer Gravity

Abstract: We explain how dispersionless integrable hierarchy in 2d topological field theory arises from the Kodaira-Spencer gravity (BCOV theory). The infinitely many commuting Hamiltonians are given by the current observables associated to the infinite abelian symmetries of the Kodaira-Spencer gravity. We describe a BV framework of effective field theories that leads to the B-model interpretation of dispersionless integrable hierarchy.
