In the woods of M theory
We study BPS states which arise in compactifications of M-theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds. In particular, we are interested in the spectrum of the particles obtained by wrapping M2-brane on a…
Local Mirror Symmetry at Higher Genus
We discuss local mirror symmetry for higher-genus curves. Specifically, we consider the topological string partition function of higher-genus curves contained in a Fano surface within a Calabi-Yau.…
Holomorphic Anomaly Equation and BPS State Counting of Rational Elliptic Surface
We consider the generating function (prepotential) for Gromov-Witten invariants of rational elliptic surface. We apply the local mirror principle to calculate the prepotential and prove a certain…
Topological string on elliptic CY 3-folds and the ring of Jacobi forms
A bstractWe give evidence that the all genus amplitudes of topological string theory on compact elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds can be written in terms of meromorphic Jacobi forms whose…
Topological Strings on Elliptic Fibrations
We study topological string theory on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds using mirror symmetry. We compute higher genus topological string amplitudes and express these in terms of polynomials…
Topological strings on genus one fibered Calabi-Yau 3-folds and string dualities
Abstract We calculate the generating functions of BPS indices using their modular properties in Type II and M-theory compactifications on compact genus one fibered CY 3-folds with singular fibers…
State counting on fibered CY 3-folds and the non-Abelian weak gravity conjecture
Abstract We extend the dictionary between the BPS spectrum of Heterotic strings and the one of F-/M-theory compactifications on K3 fibered Calabi-Yau 3-folds to cases with higher rank non-Abelian…

Enhanced gauge groups in N=4 topological amplitudes and Lorentzian Borcherds algebras
We continue our study of algebraic properties of N = 4 topological amplitudes in heterotic string theory compactified on T(2), initiated in arXiv:1102.1821. In this work we evaluate a particular…
Topological String Theory on Compact Calabi–Yau: Modularity and Boundary Conditions
The topological string partition function Z(λ,t,t) =exp(λ2 g-2 Fg(t, t)) is calculated on a compact Calabi–Yau M. The Fg(t, t) fulfil the holomorphic anomaly equations, which imply that ψ=Z…

Topological field theory and rational curves
We analyze the quantum field theory corresponding to a string propagating on a Calabi-Yau threefold. This theory naturally leads to the consideration of Witten's topological non-linear σ-model and…
