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…
