Formal Formality of the Hypercommutative Algebras of Low Dimensional Calabi–Yau Varieties

Abstract

There is a homotopy hypercommutative algebra structure on the cohomology of a Calabi–Yau variety. The truncation of this homotopy hypercommutative algebra to a strict hypercommutative algebra is well-known as a mathematical realization of the genus zero B-model. It is shown that this truncation loses no information for some cases, including all Calabi–Yau 3-folds.
