Chern-Simons theory with the exceptional gauge group as a refined topological string
Abstract
We present the partition function of Chern-Simons theory with the exceptional gauge group on three-sphere in the form of a partition function of the refined closed topological string with relation between single K\"ahler parameter , string coupling constant and refinement parameter , where for , respectively. The non-zero BPS invariants ( - degree) are . Besides these terms, partition function of Chern-Simons theory contains term corresponding to the refined constant maps of string theory. Derivation is based on the universal (in Vogel's sense) form of a Chern-Simons partition function on three-sphere, restricted to exceptional line with Vogel's parameters satisfying . This line contains points, corresponding to the all exceptional groups. The same results are obtained for line (containing and groups), with the non-zero . In both cases refinement parameter ( in terms of Nekrasov's parameters) is given in terms of universal parameters, restricted to the line, by .
