abstract

The 't Hooft expansion of SU(N) Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$ is proposed to be exactly dual to the topological closed string theory on the $S^2$ blow up of the conifold geometry. The $B$-field on the $S^2$ has magnitude $Ng_s=\lambda$, the 't Hooft coupling. We are able to make a number of checks, such as finding exact agreement at the level of the partition function computed on {\it both} sides for arbitrary $\lambda$ and to all orders in 1/N. Moreover, it seems possible to derive this correspondence from a linear sigma model description of the conifold. We propose a picture whereby a perturbative D-brane description, in terms of holes in the closed string worldsheet, arises automatically from the coexistence of two phases in the underlying U(1) gauge theory. This approach holds promise for a derivation of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Orientation Reversal and the Chern-Simons Natural Boundary

hep-th · 2025-05-20 · conditional · novelty 8.0

Resurgence provides a unique analytic continuation across natural boundaries for Chern-Simons q-series that matches 3-manifold orientation reversal via Mordell integral decompositions.

Higher Connection in Open String Field Theory

hep-th · 2026-02-14 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A 2-form connection is defined in the space of open string field theory solutions, producing invariant higher holonomies and 3-form curvature potentially corresponding to the B-field.

All the D-Branes of Resurgence

hep-th · 2023-01-12 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Negative-tension ZZ-branes are required by resurgence to build complete transseries for minimal-string free energies, with analytic Stokes data and extensions to JT gravity and other string models.

Open-Closed-Open Triality Beyond Matrix Models

hep-th · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Two open-string descriptions of branes on the resolved conifold are equivalent; integrating out one stack yields an effective potential that reproduces the backreaction and matches giant-graviton actions on the deformed conifold.
