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…
Morita Duality and Noncommutative Wilson Loops in Two Dimensions
Michele Cirafici, Luca Griguolo, Domenico Seminara +1
We describe a combinatorial approach to the analysis of the shape and orientation dependence of Wilson loop observables on two-dimensional noncommutative tori. Morita equivalence i…
