Topological strings and 5d T_N partition functions
Hirotaka Hayashi, Hee-Cheol Kim, Takahiro Nishinaka
We evaluate the Nekrasov partition function of 5d gauge theories engineered by webs of 5-branes, using the refined topological vertex on the dual Calabi-Yau threefolds. The theorie…

Phases, Flops and F-theory: SU(5) Gauge Theories
Hirotaka Hayashi, Craig Lawrie, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
We consider F-theory and M-theory compactifications on singular Calabi-Yau fourfolds with an SU(5) singularity. On the M-theory side this realizes three-dimensional N=2 supersymmet…
