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 KÃ…
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…
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…
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…
