A paradigm of open/closed duality: Liouville D-branes and the Kontsevich model
Davide Gaiotto, Leonardo Rastelli
We argue that topological matrix models (matrix models of the Kontsevich type) are examples of exact open/closed duality. The duality works at finite N and for generic `t Hooft cou…

Closed Strings as Imaginary D-branes
Davide Gaiotto, Nissan Itzhaki, Leonardo Rastelli
Sen has recently drawn attention to an exact time-dependent Boundary Conformal Field Theory with the space-time interpretation of brane creation and annihilation. An interesting li…
