Abstract

The Fukaya category of a punctured surface can be reconstructed from a pair-of-pants decomposition using a formal construction that attaches a category to a trivalent graph. We extend this formal construction to include a choice of line field on the surface, this requires a certain decoration on the graph. On the mirror side we show that this leads to a kind of twisted derived category which has not been widely studied. Mirror symmetry predicts that our category should be an invariant of decorated graphs and we prove that this is indeed the case, using only B-model methods. We also give B-model proofs that a few different mirror constructions are equivalent.
