Definition of unintegrated vertex

We will use the notations:

Let us try to relax the condition of the -invariance for the vertex, i.e. do not require that . In this case the deformed action will not be -invariant. It does not seem to be possible to modify the definition of so that the deformed action be invariant.

Notice however that it is invariant up to BRST-exact terms, because

We will deal with this complication in the following way. Let us assume that, instead of being an integral over the worldsheet, is actually a sum of insertions of some operators into fixed points on the worldsheet.

We can then restrict the group of diffeomorphisms to a subgroup which preserves those points.

Let be the subalgebra of which preserves the points of insertions; then:

We will also impose on all the same restrictions as on the integrated vertex but only for with limited to belong to .

Remember that we have to integrate over some cycle in the moduli space of Lagrangian submanifolds. We postulate that, in case of unintegrated vertex:

the integration cycle should include the variations of the positions of the insertion points

On the next page we will start the investigation of the procedure of integration over those insertion points.
