Non-Commutative (Softly Broken) Supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons
Nicola Caporaso, Sara Pasquetti
We study d=2+1 non-commutative U(1) YMCS, concentrating on the one-loop corrections to the propagator and to the dispersion relations. Unlike its commutative counterpart, this mode…
Phase transitions, double-scaling limit, and topological strings
Nicola Caporaso, Luca Griguolo, Marcos Marino +2
Topological strings on Calabi--Yau manifolds are known to undergo phase transitions at small distances. We study this issue in the case of perturbative topological strings on local…
Gauge-Invariant Resummation Formalism and Unitarity in Non-Commutative QED
Nicola Caporaso, Sara Pasquetti
We re-examine the perturbative properties of four-dimensional non-commutative QED by extending the pinch techniques to the theta-deformed case. The explicit independence of the pin…
Black-holes, topological strings and large N phase transitions
N. Caporaso, M. Cirafici, L. Griguolo +3
The counting of microstates of BPS black-holes on local Calabi-Yau of the form is explored by computing the partition…
Topological strings and large N phase transitions II: Chiral expansion of q-deformed Yang-Mills theory
Nicola Caporaso, Michele Cirafici, Luca Griguolo +3
We continue our study of the large N phase transition in q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on the sphere and its role in connecting topological strings to black hole entropy. We study i…
Topological strings and large N phase transitions I: Nonchiral expansion of q-deformed Yang-Mills theory
Nicola Caporaso, Michele Cirafici, Luca Griguolo +3
We examine the problem of counting bound states of BPS black holes on local Calabi-Yau threefolds which are fibrations over a Riemann surface by computing the partition function of…
