abstract

Recent developments in string theory have revealed a surprising connection between spectral theory and local mirror symmetry: it has been found that the quantization of mirror curves to toric Calabi-Yau threefolds leads to trace class operators, whose spectral properties are conjecturally encoded in the enumerative geometry of the Calabi-Yau. This leads to a new, infinite family of solvable spectral problems: the Fredholm determinants of these operators can be found explicitly in terms of Gromov-Witten invariants and their refinements; their spectrum is encoded in exact quantization conditions, and turns out to be determined by the vanishing of a quantum theta function. Conversely, the spectral theory of these operators provides a non-perturbative definition of topological string theory on toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. In particular, their integral kernels lead to matrix integral representations of the topological string partition function, which explain some number-theoretic properties of the periods. In this paper we give a pedagogical overview of these developments with a focus on their mathematical implications

Large Order Enumerative Geometry, Black Holes and Black Rings

hep-th · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Numerical study of high-genus GV invariants reveals 5D indices matching BMPV black-hole entropy below a critical angular momentum and black-ring dominance above, with additional phase transitions and growth laws in PT and DT invariants.

Sine-Liouville gravity as a Vertex Model on Planar Graphs

hep-th · 2025-12-21 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The seven-vertex matrix model realizes sine-Liouville gravity through a shared classical spectral curve with matrix quantum mechanics but distinct branes, with dilute-dense flow analogous to a gravitational massless sine-Gordon flow.
