%0 Journal Article %T Computations on B-model geometric transitions %A Brian Forbes %J Mathematics %D 2004 %I arXiv %R 10.1142/S0217732305018864 %X We study geometric transitions on Calabi- Yau manifolds from the perspective of the $B$ model. Looking toward physically motivated predictions, it is shown that the traditional conifold transition is too simple a case to yield meaningful results. The mathematics of a nontrivial example (of Aganagic and Vafa) is worked out carefully, and the expected equivalence is demonstrated. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0408167v1
