abstract
We develop techniques to compute higher loop string amplitudes for twisted $N=2$ theories with $\hat c=3$ (i.e. the critical case). An important ingredient is the discovery of an anomaly at every genus in decoupling of BRST trivial states, captured to all orders by a master anomaly equation. In a particular realization of the $N=2$ theories, the resulting string field theory is equivalent to a topological theory in six dimensions, the Kodaira--Spencer theory, which may be viewed as the closed string analog of the Chern--Simon theory. Using the mirror map this leads to computation of the `number' of holomorphic curves of higher genus curves in Calabi--Yau manifolds. It is shown that topological amplitudes can also be reinterpreted as computing corrections to superpotential terms appearing in the effective 4d theory resulting from compactification of standard 10d superstrings on the corresponding $N=2$ theory. Relations with $c=1$ strings are also pointed out.

Topological string partition function on CY threefolds factors into conifold terms powered by sheaf invariants, enabling non-perturbative Borel-resummed expression whose jumps are controlled by genus-zero GV invariants and a deformed prepotential.
Proposes complex matrix models for BPS correlators in N=4 SYM, relating eigenvalue distributions to LLM droplet shapes and enabling computations of one-point functions and three-point correlators via reductions to known models.
Extends operator formalism of closed topological strings to derive all-order trans-series solutions for real topological strings, with disk invariants as Stokes constants and numerical checks on local P2.
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.
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.
Deforming holomorphic Chern-Simons theory produces rescaling-invariant instantons and anomaly-free theories on End(TX) for Morse-classified directions in deformation space.
A review of the chaos-assisted holographic correspondence linking the SYK model to 2D JT gravity, including the need for string theory corrections at fine quantum scales.
