Topological gravity with non-compact matter

Abstract We couple twisted non-compact N = (2, 2) supersymmetric models to topological gravity in two dimensions. We propose expressions for the genus zero correlation functions based on a Kadomtsev-Petviashvili integrable hierarchy. Moreover, we prove recursion relations satisfied by the topologica...
