We develop the harmonic space method for conifold and use it to study local complex deformations of T * S 3 preserving manifestly SL (2, C) isometry. We derive the perturbative manifestly SL (2, C) invariant partition function Z top of topological string B model on locally deformed conifold. Generic n momentum and winding modes of 2D c = 1 non critical theory are described by highest υ (n,0) and lowest components υ (0,n) of SL (2, C) spin s = n 2 multiplets υ (n−k,k) , 0 ≤ k ≤ n and are shown to be naturally captured by harmonic monomials. Isodoublets (n = 1) describe uncoupled units of momentum and winding modes and are exactly realized as the SL (2, C) harmonic variables U + α and V − α . We also derive a dictionary giving the passage from Laurent (Fourier) analysis on T * S 1 (S 1 ) to the harmonic method on T * S 3 (S 3 ). The manifestly SU (2, C) covariant correlation functions of the S 3 quantum cosmology model of Gukov-Saraikin-Vafa are also studied.
