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 K\"ahler crepant resolutions. Physically, the refinement takes into…

An exact cubic open string field theory rolling tachyon solution was recently found by Kiermaier et. al. and Schnabl. This oscillatory solution has been argued to be related by a field redefinition to the simple exponential rolling tachyon…

The closed form integral representation for the projection onto the subspace spanned by bound states of the two-body Coulomb Hamiltonian is obtained. The projection operator onto the $n^2$ dimensional subspace corresponding to the $n$-th…

The invariant theory for conformal hypersurfaces is studied by treating these as the conformal infinity of a conformally compact manifold: For a given conformal hypersurface embedding, a distinguished ambient metric is found (within its…

We give a recursive method to compute the classical conformal blocks in Liouville field theory. The values of the expansion coefficients are given by an algebraic scheme which works to all orders. The algebraic expression of the intervening…

We study the resonant prescribed T-curvature problem on a compact 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary. We derive sharp energy and gradient estimates of the associated Euler-Lagrange functional to characterize the critical points…

We consider non-compact branes in topological string theories on a class of Calabi-Yau spaces including the resolved conifold and its mirror. We compute the amplitudes of the insertion of non-compact Lagrangian branes in the A-model on the…

The study of the $k$-th elementary symmetric function of the Weyl-Schouten curvature tensor of a Riemannian metric, the so called $\sigma_k$ curvature, has produced many fruitful results in conformal geometry in recent years, especially…

Motivated by suggestions of Paolo Cotta-Ramusino's work at the physical level of rigor relating BF theory to the Donaldson polynomials, we provide a construction applicable to the Turaev/Viro and Crane/Yetter invariants of *a priori* finer…

We introduce a new family of closed differential forms naturally associated with minimal graphical submanifolds in Euclidean space, defined in arbitrary codimension. For each minimal graph, we construct an explicit closed form whose…

We apply our previous work on Green's functions for the four-dimensional quaternionic Taub-NUT manifold to obtain a scalar two-point function on the homogeneously squashed three-sphere (otherwise known as the Berger sphere), which lies at…

We solve the $K$-theoretically refined Donaldson-Thomas theory of local curves. Our results avoid degeneration techniques, but rather exploit direct localisation methods to reduce the refined Donaldson-Thomas partition function to the…

We study the beta-deformed matrix models using the method of refined topological string theory. The refined holomorphic anomaly equation and boundary conditions near the singular divisors of the underlying geometry fix the refined…

Studying Birkhoff sums of non-integrable functions involves the challenge of large observations depending on the sampled orbit, which prevents pointwise limit theorems. To address this issue, the largest observations are removed, this…

Using variational considerations, we establish that there exists a new symmetric trace-free tensor conformal invariant of hypersurfaces embeddings in even dimensional conformal manifolds. This conformal invariant completes the family of…

This paper deals with the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for the fractional Cahn-Hilliard equation. The main results consist of global (in time) existence of weak solutions, characterization of parabolic smoothing effects (implying under proper…

We study the solution of the d-bar-Neumann problem on (0,1)-forms on the product of two half-planes in C^2. In, particular, we show the solution can be decomposed into functions smooth up to the boundary and functions which are singular at…

We examine the correspondence between the conformal field theory of boundary operators and two-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. By consideration of domain boundaries in two-dimensional critical systems, and the invariance of the hyperbolic…

This paper describes the reconstruction of the topological string partition function for certain local Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds from the quantum curve, an ordinary differential equation obtained by quantising their defining equations.…
