abstract

We study the topological string partition function of a class of toric, double elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds $X_{N,M}$ at a generic point in the K\"ahler moduli space. These manifolds engineer little string theories in five dimensions or lower and are dual to stacks of M5-branes probing a transverse orbifold singularity. Using the refined topological vertex formalism, we explicitly calculate a generic building block which allows to compute the topological string partition function of $X_{N,M}$ as a series expansion in different K\"ahler parameters. Using this result we give further explicit proof for a duality found previously in the literature, which relates $X_{N,M}\sim X_{N',M'}$ for $NM=N'M'$ and $\text{gcd}(N,M)=\text{gcd}(N',M')$.

  1. Surface Defects in $A$-type Little String Theories

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors give a combinatorial partition function for A-type little string theories with a full-type surface defect and argue that two NS-limit regularizations are both regular due to a recursive pole-cancellation identity.
