Khovanov-Rozansky Homology and Topological Strings
Sergei Gukov, Albert Schwarz, Cumrun Vafa
We conjecture a relation between the sl(N) knot homology, recently introduced by Khovanov and Rozansky, and the spectrum of BPS states captured by open topological strings. This co…
Topological M-theory as Unification of Form Theories of Gravity
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Sergei Gukov, Andrew Neitzke +1
We introduce a notion of topological M-theory and argue that it provides a unification of form theories of gravity in various dimensions. Its classical solutions involve G_2 holono…
M theory and Singularities of Exceptional Holonomy Manifolds
Bobby S. Acharya, Sergei Gukov
M theory compactifications on G_2 holonomy manifolds, whilst supersymmetric, require singularities in order to obtain non-Abelian gauge groups, chiral fermions and other properties…
An Index for 2D field theories with large N=4 superconformal symmetry
Sergei Gukov, Emil Martinec, Gregory Moore +1
We consider families of theories with large N=4 superconformal symmetry. We define an index generalizing the elliptic genus of theories with N=2 symmetry. In contrast to the N=2 ca…
Equivalence of twistor prescriptions for super Yang-Mills
Sergei Gukov, Lubos Motl, Andrew Neitzke
There is evidence that one can compute tree level super Yang-Mills amplitudes using either connected or completely disconnected curves in twistor space. We argue that the two compu…
The Search for a Holographic Dual to AdS(3)xS(3)xS(3)xS(1)
Sergei Gukov, Emil Martinec, Gregory Moore +1
The problem of finding a holographic CFT dual to string theory on AdS(3)xS(3)xS(3)xS(1) is examined in depth. This background supports a large N=4 superconformal symmetry. While in…
