چکیده
A bstract We present closed-form expressions of unrefined instanton partition functions for gauge groups type BCD as sums over Young diagrams. For SO( n ) groups, we provide a fivebrane web picture our formula based on the vertex-operator formalism topological vertex with new called O-vertex an O5-plane.

Refined Topological Vertex and Instanton Counting
It has been proposed recently that topological A-model string amplitudes for toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds in non self-dual graviphoton background can be caluculated by a diagrammatic method that is called the " refined topological vertex ". We compute the extended A-model amplitudes for SU (N)-geometries using the proposed vertex. If the refined topological vertex is valid, these computations shoul...
متن کاملCurve Counting and Instanton Counting
Intuitively, in four-dimensional gauge theories one counts instantons, and in twodimensional string theory one counts holomorphic curves. These correspond to the instanton counting and curve counting in the title. There is no obvious connection between them, but a remarkable physical idea called geometric engineering [9, 10, 11] dictates that they are indeed related. More precisely, the generat...
متن کاملInstanton Counting and Matrix Model
We construct an Imbimbo-Mukhi type matrix model, which reproduces exactly the partition function of CP topological strings in the small phase space, Nekrasov’s instanton counting in N = 2 gauge theory and the large N limit of the partition function in 2-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on a sphere. In addition, we propose a dual Stieltjes-Wigert type matrix model, which emerges when all-genus topo...
متن کاملInstanton Counting and Dielectric Branes
We consider the Hanany-Witten type brane configuration in a background of RR 4form field strength and examine the behavior of Euclidean D0-branes propagating between two NS5-branes. We evaluate the partition function of the D0-branes and show that it coincides with the Nekrasov partition function of instantons for four-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In this analysis, the My...
متن کاملCubic curves from instanton counting
We investigate the possibility to extract Seiberg-Witten curves from the formal series for the prepotential, which was obtained by the Nekrasov approach. A method for models whose SeibergWitten curves are not hyperelliptic is proposed. It is applied to the SU(N) model with one symmetric or antisymmetric representations as well as for SU(N1)× SU(N2) model with (N1, N2) or (N1, N2) bifundamental ...
