In this note, we study the deformation of the topological string by Ω¯. Namely, adopting the perturbative string amplitudes approach, we identify the Ω¯-deformation in terms of a physical state in the sting spectrum. We calculate the topological amplitudes Fg in heterotic string theory in the presence of the latter. In partic-ular, we show that it is crucial to include quadratic terms in the effective action in order for Ω¯ to decouple. It turns out that this decoupling happens at the full string level, suggesting that this holds non-perturbatively.
