Topological String Partition Functions as Polynomials

چکیده
We investigate the structure of the higher genus topological string amplitudes on the quintic hypersurface. It is shown that the partition functions of the higher genus than one can be expressed as polynomials of five generators. We also compute the explicit polynomial forms of the partition functions for genus 2, 3, and 4. Moreover, some coefficients are written down for all genus.

Notes on Topological Field Theory
Introduction The notes give a survey of the basics of the following topological field theories: • The Chern-Simons gauge theory on 3-manifolds, its renormalization, geometric quantization, computation of partition functions by surgery, and relation with Jones Polynomials • Twisted N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on 4-manifolds, its reduction to N = 1 theory with a mass gap, and computati...
متن کاملExact Black Hole Degeneracies and the Topological String
Motivated by the recent conjecture of Ooguri, Strominger and Vafa, we compute the semi-canonical partition function of BPS black holes in N = 4 and N = 8 string theories, to all orders in perturbation theory. Not only are the black hole partition functions surprisingly simple; they capture the full topological string amplitudes, as expected from the OSV conjecture. The agreement is not perfect,...
متن کاملNew Anomalies in Topological String Theory
We show that the topological string partition function with D-branes on a compact Calabi-Yau manifold has new anomalies that spoil the recursive structure of the holomorphic anomaly equation and introduce dependence on wrong moduli (such as complex structure moduli in the A-model), unless the disk one-point functions vanish. This provides a microscopic explanation for the recent result of Walch...
متن کاملOn a Deformed Topological Vertex
Recall the topological vertex involves three partitions, when one of them is empty it is related to the leading term of the large N colored HOMFLY polynomials of the Hopf link, and the general topological vertex can be expressed in terms of such leading terms. We will use the whole colored HOMFLY polynomials to define the deformed vertex, hence deformations of the partition functions of topolog...
متن کاملD-branes as a Bubbling Calabi-Yau
We prove that the open topological string partition function on aD-brane configuration in a Calabi-Yau manifoldX takes the form of a closed topological string partition function on a different Calabi-Yau manifold Xb. This identification shows that the physics of D-branes in an arbitrary background X of topological string theory can be described either by open+closed string theory in X or by clo...
