The Volume Conjecture, Perturbative Knot Invariants, and Recursion Relations for Topological Strings
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Hiroyuki Fuji, Masahide Manabe
We study the relation between perturbative knot invariants and the free energies defined by topological string theory on the character variety of the knot. Such a correspondence be…

Localization with a Surface Operator, Irregular Conformal Blocks and Open Topological String
Hidetoshi Awata, Hiroyuki Fuji, Hiroaki Kanno +2
Following a recent paper by Alday and Tachikawa, we compute the instanton partition function in the presence of the surface operator by the localization formula on the moduli space…
