Topological strings and Wilson loops [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We propose the refined topological string correspondence to the expectation values of half-BPS Wilson loop operators in 5d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 gauge theory partition function on the Omega-deformed background ℝ ϵ 1 , 2 4 $$ {\mathbb{R}}_{\upepsilon_{1,

Topological Strings on Non-Commutative Resolutions [PDF]

Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2022
In this paper we propose a definition of torsion refined Gopakumar–Vafa (GV) invariants for Calabi–Yau threefolds with terminal nodal singularities that do not admit Kähler crepant resolutions.

Axially Bound Magnetic Skyrmions: Glueing Topological Strings Across an Interface. [PDF]

Nano Lett, 2022
A major challenge in topological magnetism lies in the three-dimensional (3D) exploration of their magnetic textures. A recent focus has been the question of how 2D skyrmion sheets vertically stack to form distinct types of 3D topological strings.

Quantum dynamics of topological strings in a frustrated Ising antiferromagnet [PDF]

npj Quantum Materials, 2022
We investigate the quantum dynamics of the antiferromagnetic transverse field Ising model on the triangular lattice through large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations and stochastic analytic continuation.

Spectral theories and topological strings on del Pezzo geometries [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Motivated by understanding M2-branes, we propose to reformulate partition functions of M2-branes by quantum curves. Especially, we focus on the backgrounds of del Pezzo geometries, which enjoy Weyl group symmetries of exceptional algebras.

Intertwining operator and integrable hierarchies from topological strings [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
In [1], Nakatsu and Takasaki have shown that the melting crystal model behind the topological strings vertex provides a tau-function of the KP hierarchy after an appropriate time deformation.

Topological strings, strips and quivers [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We find a direct relation between quiver representation theory and open topological string theory on a class of toric Calabi-Yau manifolds without compact four-cycles, also referred to as strip geometries.

Trinion conformal blocks from topological strings [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
In this paper we investigate the relation between conformal blocks of Liouville CFT and the topological string partition functions of the rank one trinion theory T 2.

Emergent potentials and non-perturbative open topological strings

Journal of High Energy Physics
We show that integrating out M2 branes ending on M5 branes inside Calabi-Yau manifolds captures non-perturbative open topological string physics. The integrating out is performed using a contour integral in complexified Schwinger proper time.

Entanglement entropy and edge modes in topological string theory. Part I. Generalized entropy for closed strings [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Progress in identifying the bulk microstate interpretation of the Ryu-Takayanagi formula requires understanding how to define entanglement entropy in the bulk closed string theory.
