We give an interpretation of the Ω deformedB-model that leads naturally to the generalized holomorphic anomaly equations. Direct integration of the latter calculates topological amplitudes of four-dimensional rigidN= 2 theories explicitly in general Ω-backgrounds in terms of modular forms. These amplitudes encode the refined BPS spectrum as well as new gravitational couplings in the effective action ofN= 2 supersymmetric theories. The rigidN= 2 field theories we focus on are the conformal rank oneN= 2 Seiberg–Witten theories. The failure of holomorphicity is milder in the conformal cases, but fixing the holomorphic ambiguity is only possible upon mass deformation. Our formalism applies irrespectively of whether a Lagrangian formulation exists. In the class of rigidN= 2 theories arising from compactifications on local Calabi–Yau manifolds, we consider the theory of local. We calculate motivic Donaldson–Thomas invariants for this geometry and make predictions for generalized Gromov–Witten invariants at the orbifold point.
