2 00 4 Gauge theory , topological strings , and S - duality
We offer a derivation of the duality between the topological U(1) gauge theory on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and the topological A-model on the same manifold. This duality was conjectured recently by Iqbal, Nekrasov, Okounkov, and Vafa. We deduce it from the S-duality of the IIB superstring. We also argue that the mirror version of this duality relates the topological B-model on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold an...
متن کاملS-duality and topological strings
In this paper we show how S-duality of type-IIB superstrings leads to an Sduality relating Aand B-model topological strings on the same Calabi-Yau as had been conjectured recently: D-instantons of the B-model correspond to A-model perturbative amplitudes and D-instantons of the A-model capture perturbative B-model amplitudes. Moreover this confirms the existence of new branes in the two models....

متن کاملS-Duality and Noncommutative Gauge Theory
It is conjectured that strongly coupled, spatially noncommutative N = 4 Yang-Mills theory has a dual description as a weakly coupled open string theory in a near critical electric field, and that this dual theory is fully decoupled from closed strings. Evidence for this conjecture is given by the absence of physical closed string poles in the non-planar oneloop open string diagram. The open str...
متن کاملS-duality in Abelian gauge theory revisited
Definition of the partition function of U(1) gauge theory is extended to a class of fourmanifolds containing all compact spaces and the asymptotically locally flat (ALF) ones including the multi-Taub–NUT sopaces. The partition function is calculated via zetafunction regularization and heat kernel techniques with special attention to its modular properties. In the compact case, compared with the...
