Nonperturbative Effects and the Large-Order Behavior of Matrix Models and Topological Strings
Marcos Marino, Ricardo Schiappa, Marlene Weiss
This work addresses nonperturbative effects in both matrix models and topological strings, and their relation with the large-order behavior of the 1/N expansion. We study instanton…
Open string amplitudes and large order behavior in topological string theory
Marcos Marino
We propose a formalism inspired by matrix models to compute open and closed topological string amplitudes in the B-model on toric Calabi-Yau manifolds. We find closed expressions f…
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…
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.
