Twisted holography from the B-model on a 7-fold
Abstract
I study a topological string construction of the holographic duality between Kodaira-Spencer gravity on the Calabi-Yau 7-fold in the presence of a stack of backreacted D5 branes wrapping twistor space, . The theory on the stack of branes is the twistor uplift of self-dual gauge theory. I show that turning on a bulk superpotential and twisting the brane theory by the dual supercharge reduces the duality to twisted holography which relates the B-model on AdS to the 2d chiral algebra subsector of . I do an analogous computation for the twistor uplift of self-dual by working on the Calabi-Yau 7-fold . I also connect twists of the twistor uplift of self-dual with the matrix model found by supersymmetric localization on and the Dijkgraaf-Vafa matrix model construction.
