We consider branes in refined topological strings. We argue that their wave-functions satisfy a Schr\"odinger equation depending on multiple times and prove this in the case where the topological string has a dual matrix model description. Furthermore, in the limit where one of the equivariant rotations approaches zero, the brane partition function satisfies a time-independent Schroedinger equation. We use this observation, as well as the back reaction of the brane on the closed string geometry, to offer an explanation of the connection between integrable systems and N=2 gauge systems in four dimensions observed by Nekrasov and Shatashvili.

  1. Eigenfunctions of deformed Schr\"odinger equations

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit entire eigenfunctions are constructed for the difference operators 2Λ^N cosh(p)+V_N(x) with arbitrary polynomial potential; they become square-integrable only at a discrete set of energies.

  2. Exact WKB of solutions by Borel summation and open TBA

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Borel-summed WKB solutions of quantum Seiberg-Witten equations are matched, numerically, to GMN open TBA solutions for the Weber and modified Mathieu equations.

  3. Factorized Quantum Curves and Minuscule Vertices in 3D Duality Cascades with FI Parameters

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Vertices of fundamental domains for del Pezzo quantum curves with FI parameters are realized as factorized curves from 5-branes dressed by FI parameters, matching minuscule weights.
