Topological Strings from WZW Models
We show that the BRST structure of the topological string is encoded in the “small” N = 4 superconformal algebra, enabling us to obtain, in a non-trivial way, the string theory from hamiltonian reduction of A(1|1). This leads to the important conclusion that not only ordinary string theories, but topological strings as well, can be obtained, or even defined, by hamiltonian reduction from WZW mo...
متن کاملMatrix Models, Topological Strings, and Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
We show that B-model topological strings on local Calabi-Yau threefolds are large N duals of matrix models, which in the planar limit naturally give rise to special geometry. These matrix models directly compute F-terms in an associated N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory, obtained by deforming N = 2 theories by a superpotential term that can be directly identified with the potential of the matri...
متن کاملConifold Geometries, Topological Strings and Multi–matrix Models
We study open B-model representing D-branes on 2-cycles of local Calabi–Yau geometries. To this end we work out a reduction technique linking D-branes partition functions and multi-matrix models in the case of conifold geometries so that the matrix potential is related to the complex moduli of the conifold. We study the geometric engineering of the multi-matrix models and focus on two-matrix mo...
متن کاملLes Houches lectures on matrix models and topological strings
In these lecture notes for the Les Houches School on Applications of Random Matrices in Physics we give an introduction to the connections between matrix models and topological strings. We first review some basic results of matrix model technology and then we focus on type B topological strings. We present the main results of Dijkgraaf and Vafa describing the spacetime string dynamics on certai...
متن کاملTopological M-Strings and Supergroup WZW Models
We study the boundary conditions in topologically twisted Chern-Simons matter theories with the Lie 3-algebraic structure. We find that the supersymmetric boundary conditions and the gauge invariant boundary conditions can be unified as complexified gauge invariant boundary conditions which lead to supergroup WZW models. We propose that the low-energy effective field theories on the two-dimensi...
