Description

In this paper target-space properties of string backgrounds corresponding to topological conformal field theories are discussed. The topological string background is obtained from a twisting of an N = 2 superconformal field theory describing an ordinary background of the superstring. Thus, we are able to relate the duality symmetries of topological backgrounds with N = 2 backgrounds
