Enumerative geometry of surfaces and topological strings
Andrea Brini
This survey covers recent developments on the geometry and physics of Looijenga pairs, namely pairs with a complex algebraic surface and a singular anticanonical di…
Rational reductions of the 2D-Toda hierarchy and mirror symmetry
Andrea Brini, Guido Carlet, Stefano Romano +1
We introduce and study a two-parameter family of symmetry reductions of the two-dimensional Toda lattice hierarchy, which are characterized by a rational factorization of the Lax o…
The local Gromov-Witten theory of CP^1 and integrable hierarchies
Andrea Brini
In this paper we begin the study of the relationship between the local Gromov-Witten theory of Calabi-Yau rank two bundles over the projective line and the theory of integrable hie…
Chern-Simons theory on L(p,q) lens spaces and Gopakumar-Vafa duality
Andrea Brini, Luca Griguolo, Domenico Seminara +1
We consider aspects of Chern-Simons theory on L(p,q) lens spaces and its relation with matrix models and topological string theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds, searching for possible…
