Refined Black Hole Ensembles and Topological Strings
Mina Aganagic, Kevin Schaeffer
We formulate a refined version of the Ooguri-Strominger-Vafa (OSV) conjecture. The OSV conjecture that Z_{BH} = |Z_{top}|^2 relates the BPS black hole partition function to the top…
Orientifolds and the Refined Topological String
Mina Aganagic, Kevin Schaeffer
We study refined topological string theory in the presence of orientifolds by counting second-quantized BPS states in M-theory. This leads us to propose a new integrality condition…
Dimer Models and Integrable Systems
Richard Eager, Sebastian Franco, Kevin Schaeffer
We explore various aspects of the correspondence between dimer models and integrable systems recently introduced by Goncharov and Kenyon. Dimer models give rise to relativistic int…
Wall Crossing, Quivers and Crystals
Mina Aganagic, Kevin Schaeffer
We study the spectrum of BPS D-branes on a Calabi-Yau manifold using the 0+1 dimensional quiver gauge theory that describes the dynamics of the branes at low energies. The results…
