Refined Vafa-Witten invariants for toric surfaces from supersymmetric localization in 5D gauge theory

Osama Khlaif, Boris Pioline, Alessandro Tanzini

We study the partition function of five-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with an adjoint hypermultiplet of mass on a toric Kä…

Large Order Enumerative Geometry, Black Holes and Black Rings

Sergei Alexandrov, Albrecht Klemm, Boris Pioline

Exploiting newly available data on Gopakumar-Vafa invariants at high genus for one-parameter hypergeometric Calabi-Yau threefolds, we study numerically the growth of the 5D indices…

Revisiting the Quantum Geometry of Torus-fibered Calabi-Yau Threefolds

Boris Pioline, Thorsten Schimannek

About ten years ago, Katz, Klemm and Huang conjectured that topological string amplitudes on compact, elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds at fixed base degree could be expre…

Black Hole Quantum Mechanics and Generalized Error Functions

Boris Pioline, Rishi Raj

In Type II Calabi-Yau string compactifications, S-duality predicts that suitable generating series of BPS indices counting microstates of D4-D2-D0 black holes are in general mock m…

BPS Dendroscopy on Local

Bruno Le Floch, Boris Pioline, Rishi Raj

BPS states in type II string compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold can typically be decomposed as moduli-dependent bound states of absolutely stable constituents, with a hierarchi…

Enumerative geometry and modularity in two-modulus K3-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds

Charles Doran, Boris Pioline, Thorsten Schimannek

Motivated in part by the modular properties of enumerative invariants of K3-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds, we introduce a family of 39 Calabi-Yau mirror pairs with $h_{1,1}…
