Amplitudes in open topological string theory may be described completely by certain A-infinity-categories. We detail a general construction of all cyclic minimal models for a given A-infinity-algebra and apply this result to the case of N=2…
In this paper we derive novel families of inclusion sets for the spectrum and pseudospectrum of large classes of bounded linear operators, and establish convergence of particular sequences of these inclusion sets to the spectrum or…
In this letter, we relate the free energy of the 0A matrix model to the sum of topological and anti-topological string amplitudes. For arbitrary integer multiples of the matrix model self-dual radius we describe the geometry on which the…
The mirror curves enable us to study B-model topological strings on non-compact toric Calabi--Yau threefolds. One of the method to obtain the mirror curves is to calculate the partition function of the topological string with single brane.…
We investigate orientifolds of type II string theory on K3 and Calabi-Yau 3-folds with intersecting D-branes wrapping special Lagrangian cycles. We determine quite generically the chiral massless spectrum in terms of topological invariants…
The partition function of ABJM theory on the three-sphere has non-perturbative corrections due to membrane instantons in the M-theory dual. We show that the full series of membrane instanton corrections is completely determined by the…
We study the relation between topological string theory and singularity theory using the partition function of $A_{N-1}$ topological string defined by matrix integral of Kontsevich type. Genus expansion of the free energy is considered, and…
We study orientifolds of type IIB string theory in the plane-wave background supported by null RR 3-form flux F^{(3)}. We describe how to extract the RR tadpoles in the Green-Schwarz formalism in a general setting. Two models with…
Important illustration to the principle ``partition functions in string theory are $\tau$-functions of integrable equations'' is the fact that the (dual) partition functions of $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories solve Painlev\'e equations.…
The goal of the present paper is to provide a mathematically rigorous foundation to certain aspects of rational orbifold conformal field theory, in other words the theory of rational vertex operator algebras and their automorphisms. Under a…
The $J$-matrix method is extended to difference and $q$-difference operators and is applied to several explicit differential, difference, $q$-difference and second order Askey-Wilson type operators. The spectrum and the spectral measures…
I provide an explicit construction of spectral curves for the affine $\mathrm{E}_8$ relativistic Toda chain. Their closed form expression is obtained by determining the full set of character relations in the representation ring of…
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. We show that various quantities…
In this paper, a spectral theorem is proved for self-adjoint cyclically compact partial integral operators in the space of functions with mixed norm, which is a Kaplansky--Hilbert module. The decomposition through eigenfunctions, integral…
Recently an exact duality between topological string and the spectral theory of operators constructed from mirror curves to toric Calabi-Yau threefolds has been proposed. At the same time an exact quantization condition for the cluster…
Kernel theorems, in general, provide a convenient representation of bounded linear operators. For the operator acting on a concrete function space, this means that its action on any element of the space can be expressed as a generalised…
A class of exactly solvable string models can be obtained by starting with flat space and combining T-duality and shifts of angular coordinates of several polar planes. The models are the analog of the Lunin-Maldacena \beta-deformation of…
The invertibility of integral linear operators is a major problem of both theoretical and practical importance. In this paper we investigate the relation between an operator invertibility and the rank of its integral kernel to develop a…
We construct a functional model (direct integral expansion) and study the spectra of certain periodic block-operator Jacobi matrices, in particular, of general 2D partial difference operators of the second order. We obtain the upper bound,…
In 2015, Codesido-Grassi-Marino laid the foundation of a connection between local CY 3-folds and the spectra of operators attached to their mirror curves in the context of Topological String Theory. In a 2024 paper with C. Doran and M.…
