The 1/2 BPS 't Hooft loops in N=4 SYM as instantons in 2d Yang-Mills
Simone Giombi, Vasily Pestun
We extend the recent conjecture on the relation between a certain 1/8 BPS subsector of 4d N=4 SYM on S^2 and 2d Yang-Mills theory by turning on circular 1/2 BPS 't Hooft operators…
Topological strings in generalized complex space
Vasily Pestun
A two-dimensional topological sigma-model on a generalized Calabi-Yau target space is defined. The model is constructed in Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism using only a generalized…
Black hole entropy and topological strings on generalized CY manifolds
Vasily Pestun
The H. Ooguri, A. Strominger and C. Vafa conjecture is extended for the topological strings on generalized CY manifolds. It is argued that the classical black…
On the property of Cachazo-Intriligator-Vafa prepotential at the extremum of the superpotential
A. Dymarsky, V. Pestun
We consider CIV-DV prepotential F for N=1 SU(n) SYM theory at the extremum of the effective superpotential and prove the relation
Comparing strings in AdS(5)xS(5) to planar diagrams: an example
V. Pestun, K. Zarembo
The correlator of a Wilson loop with a local operator in N=4 SYM theory can be represented by a string amplitude in AdS(5)xS(5). This amplitude describes an overlap of the boundary…
