String topology in three flavors [PDF]
EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences, 2023 We describe two major string topology operations, the Chas–Sullivan product and the Goresky–Hingston coproduct, from geometric and algebraic perspectives. The geometric construction uses Thom–Pontrjagin intersection theory while the algebraic construction is phrased in terms of Hochschild homology.

Topological string entanglement [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Abstract We investigate how topological entanglement of Chern-Simons theory is captured in a string theoretic realization. Our explorations are motivated by a desire to understand how quantum entanglement of low energy open string degrees of freedom is encoded in string theory (beyond the oft discussed classical gravity limit ...

S-duality and Topological Strings [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2004 In this paper we show how S-duality of type IIB superstrings leads to an S-duality relating A and B model topological strings on the same Calabi-Yau as had been conjectured recently: D-instantons of the B-model correspond to A-model perturbative amplitudes and D-instantons of the A-model capture perturbative B-model amplitudes.

Realization of non-Hermitian Hopf bundle matter
Communications Physics, 2023 Non-trivial linking invariant encodes robust information of topological matter. It has been recently shown that the linking and winding of complex eigenenergy strings can classify one-dimensional non-Hermitian topological matter.

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.

Orbifold string topology [PDF]
Geometry & Topology, 2008 In this paper we study the string topology ( la Chas-Sullivan) of an orbifold. We define the string homology ring product at the level of the free loop space of the classifying space of an orbifold. We study its properties (introducing an operad to do so) and do some explicit calculations.

Topology in thermodynamics of regular black strings with Kaluza–Klein reduction
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 We study the topological defects in the thermodynamics of regular black strings (from a four-dimensional perspective) that is symmetric under the double Wick rotation and constructed in the high-dimensional spacetime with an extra dimension compactified ...

Codimension-2 defects and higher symmetries in (3+1)D topological phases
SciPost Physics, 2023 (3+1)D topological phases of matter can host a broad class of non-trivial topological defects of codimension-1, 2, and 3, of which the well-known point charges and flux loops are special cases.

Hypermultiplets and topological strings [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2006 The c-map relates classical hypermultiplet moduli spaces in compactifications of type II strings on a Calabi-Yau threefold to vector multiplet moduli spaces via a further compactification on a circle. We give an off-shell description of the c-map in N=2 superspace.
