@article{Codesido2016OperatorsAH, title={Operators and higher genus mirror curves}, author={Santiago Codesido and Jie Gu and Marcos Mari{\~n}o}, journal={Journal of High Energy Physics}, year={2016}, volume={2017}, pages={1-53} }
A bstractWe perform further tests of the correspondence between spectral theory and topological strings, focusing on mirror curves of genus greater than one with nontrivial mass parameters. In particular, we analyze the geometry relevant to the SU(3) relativistic Toda lattice, and the resolved ℂ3/ℤ6$$ {\mathbb{C}}^{{}^3}/{\mathbb{Z}}_6 $$ orbifold. Furthermore, we give evidence that the correspondence holds for arbitrary values of the mass parameters, where the quantization problem leads to…
