5 On Minimal N = 4 Topological Strings And The ( 1 , k ) Minimal Bosonic String

In this paper we consider tree-level scattering in the minimal N = 4 topological string and show that a large class of N -point functions can be recast in terms of corresponding amplitudes in the (1, k) minimal bosonic string. This suggests a non-trivial relation between the minimal N = 4 topological strings, the (1, k) minimal bosonic strings and their corresponding ADE matrix models. This relation has interesting and far-reaching implications for the topological sector of six-dimensional Little String Theories.
