Les Houches lectures on matrix models and topological strings
Marcos Marino
In these lecture notes for the Les Houches School on Applications of Random Matrices in Physics we give an introduction to the connections between matrix models and topological str…
Enumerative geometry and knot invariants
Marcos Marino
We review the string/gauge theory duality relating Chern-Simons theory and topological strings on noncompact Calabi-Yau manifolds, as well as its mathematical implications for knot…
Framed knots at large N
Marcos Marino, Cumrun Vafa
We study the framing dependence of the Wilson loop observable of U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory at large N. Using proposed geometrical large N dual, this leads to a direct computat…
A New Point of View in the Theory of Knot and Link Invariants
Jose M. F. Labastida, Marcos Marino
Recent progress in string theory has led to a reformulation of quantum-group polynomial invariants for knots and links into new polynomial invariants whose coefficients can be unde…
Remarks on Tachyon Condensation in Superstring Field Theory
David Kutasov, Marcos Marino, Gregory Moore
We generalize recent results on tachyon condensation in boundary string field theory to the superstring.
Topological quantum field theory and four-manifolds
Marcos Marino
I review some recent results on four-manifold invariants which have been obtained in the context of topological quantum field theory. I focus on three different aspects: (a) the co…
