| Aug 7, 2013 at 23:20 | comment | added | BlakeA | Yes, I am wondering if B-filed plays any role in other fileds of mathematics. It seems to me that it is added just to make the dimension of the moduli spaces the same. | |
| Aug 7, 2013 at 23:11 | comment | added | user1504 | @GunnarMagnusson Perhaps the OP is looking for connections to other parts of mathematics? The mirror symmetry B-field is a cohomological shadow of more complicated objects. | |
| Aug 7, 2013 at 23:06 | comment | added | Gunnar Þór Magnússon | @userN: I thought the OPs mention of mirror symmetry was specific enough. My thesis was supposed to have applications to mirror symmetry so I read some things about it and could never figure out if the $B$ field played any other role than to complexify the Kahler cone in a managable way. It always seemed like a parameter we add just because we can. | |

Fixed up spelling and replaced K\"hlar with Kähler.
