Topological closed-string interpretation of Chern-Simons theory.
The exact free energy of SU(N) Chern-Simons theory at level k is expanded in powers of (N + k)−2. This expansion keeps rank-level duality manifest, and simplifies as k becomes large, keeping N fixed (or vice versa)—this is the weak-coupling (strong-coupling) limit. With the standard normalization, the free energy on the three-sphere in this limit is shown to be the generating function of the Eu...
متن کاملToroidal Compactification in String Theory from Chern-Simons Theory
A detailed study of the charge spectrum of three dimensional Abelian Topological Massive Gauge Theory (TMGT) is given. When this theory is defined on a manifold with two disconnected boundaries there are induced chiral Conformal Field Theories (CFT’s) on the boundaries which can be interpreted as the left and right sectors of closed strings. We show that Narain constraints on toroidal compactif...
متن کاملTopological Amplitudes in String Theory
We show that certain type II string amplitudes at genus g are given by the topologi-cal partition function F g discussed recently by Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri and Vafa. These amplitudes give rise to a term in the four-dimensional effective action of the form g F g W 2g , where W is the chiral superfield of N = 2 supergravitational multi-plet. The holomorphic anomaly of F g is related to non-l...
متن کاملChern-Simons Theory and Topological Strings
We review the relation between Chern-Simons gauge theory and topological string theory on noncompact Calabi-Yau spaces. This relation has made possible to give an exact solution of topological string theory on these spaces to all orders in the string coupling constant. We focus on the construction of this solution, which is encoded in the topological vertex, and we emphasize the implications of...
متن کاملMaxwell Chern-Simons Solitons from Type IIB String Theory
We study various three-dimensional supersymmetric Maxwell Chern-Simons solitons by using type IIB brane configurations. We give a systematic classification of soliton spectra such as topological BPS vortices and nontopological vortices in N = 2, 3 supersymmetric Maxwell Chern-Simons system via the branes of type IIB string theory. We identify the brane configurations with the soliton spectra of...
