Remarks on Vafa-Witten theory, or how to sit on a wall

Sergei Alexandrov, Aradhita Chattopadhyaya

We prove three results about refined VW invariants on Hirzebruch surfaces. First, we crucially simplify the modular anomaly equation satisfied by the generating series of t…

Multi-instantons in 2d string theory

Sergei Alexandrov, Rishabh Kaushik

Instanton contributions in 2d string theory are known to include subtle numerical factors closely related to a contour prescription in multi-instanton string amplitudes. Both…

Quantum TBA for refined BPS indices

Sergei Alexandrov, Khalil Bendriss

Refined BPS indices give rise to a quantum Riemann-Hilbert problem that is inherently related to a non-commutative deformation of moduli spaces arising in gauge and string theory c…

Mock modularity at work, or black holes in a forest

Sergei Alexandrov

Mock modular forms, first invented by Ramanujan, provide a beautiful generalization of the usual modular forms. In recent years, it was found that they capture generating functions…

Mock modularity of Calabi-Yau threefolds

Sergei Alexandrov, Khalil Bendriss

Generating functions of D4-D2-D0 BPS indices, appearing in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type IIA string theory and identical to rank 0 Donaldson-Thomas invariants, are…

Instantons in sine-Liouville theory

Sergei Alexandrov, Raghu Mahajan, Ashoke Sen

We compute instanton corrections to the partition function of sine-Liouville (SL) theory, which provides a worldsheet description of two-dimensional string theory in a non-trivial…
