c=1 String as the Topological Theory of the Conifold
read the original abstract
We show that the non-critical $c=1$ string at the self-dual radius is equivalent to topological strings based on the deformation of the conifold singularity of Calabi-Yau threefolds. The Penner sum giving the genus expansion of the free energy of the $c=1$ string theory at the self-dual radius therefore gives the universal behaviour of the topological partition function of a Calabi-Yau threefold near a conifold point.

Hadrons in $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric QCD from non-Abelian string on 2D black hole
The hadron spectrum in N=2 SQCD with N_f=2N is given by the spectrum of a non-Abelian string on a 2D N=2 supersymmetric black hole, with a Higgs-to-string phase transition viewed as a conifold transition.
