D=5 holomorphic Chern-Simons and the pure spinor superstring
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 The physical states of D=5 holomorphic Chern-Simons theory correspond to on-shell D=10 open superstring states in the cohomology of q +, where q + is one of the 16 spacetime supersymmetry generators.

Topological amplitudes in string theory [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1994 We show that certain type II string amplitudes at genus $g$ are given by the topological partition function $F_g$ discussed recently by Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri and Vafa. These amplitudes give rise to a term in the four-dimensional effective action of the form $\sum_g F_g W^{2g}$, where $W$ is the chiral superfield of $N=2$ supergravitational ...

Refined topological amplitudes from the Ω-background in string theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 It was recently shown that the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 string topological amplitudes in the heterotic weak coupling limit generate a six-dimensional Melvin space, providing a description of the Ω-background in string theory, where string propagation can ...

Direct integration of the topological string [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007 We present a new method to solve the holomorphic anomaly equations governing the free energies of type B topological strings. The method is based on direct integration with respect to the non-holomorphic dependence of the amplitudes, and relies on the interplay between non-holomorphicity and modularity properties of the topological string amplitudes ...

Transplanckian censorship and global cosmic strings
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 Large field excursions are required in a number of axion models of inflation. These models also possess global cosmic strings, around which the axion follows a path mirroring the inflationary trajectory. Cosmic strings are thus an interesting theoretical

Topological Nambu monopole in two Higgs doublet models
Physics Letters B, 2020 We show that a topological Nambu monopole exists as a regular solution for a large range of parameters in two Higgs doublet models, contrary to the standard model admitting only non-topological Nambu monopoles.

Electroweak axion string and superconductivity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We study the axion strings with the electroweak gauge flux in the DFSZ axion model and show that these strings, called the electroweak axion strings, can exhibit superconductivity without fermionic zeromodes. We construct three types of electroweak axion
