Torus Knots and the Topological Vertex
Hans Jockers, Albrecht Klemm, Masoud Soroush
We propose a class of toric Lagrangian A-branes on the resolved conifold that is suitable to describe torus knots on S^3. The key role is played by the SL(2,Z) transformation, whic…
Two-Sphere Partition Functions and Gromov-Witten Invariants
Hans Jockers, Vijay Kumar, Joshua M. Lapan +2
Many N=(2,2) two-dimensional nonlinear sigma models with Calabi-Yau target spaces admit ultraviolet descriptions as N=(2,2) gauge theories (gauged linear sigma models). We conjectu…
Nonabelian 2D Gauge Theories for Determinantal Calabi-Yau Varieties
Hans Jockers, Vijay Kumar, Joshua M. Lapan +2
The two-dimensional supersymmetric gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) with abelian gauge groups and matter fields has provided many insights into string theory on Calabi--Yau manifol…
Conifold Transitions in M-theory on Calabi-Yau Fourfolds with Background Fluxes
Kenneth Intriligator, Hans Jockers, Peter Mayr +2
We consider topology changing transitions for M-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau fourfolds with background G-flux. The local geometry of the transition is generically a genus…
