abstract
We propose that the grand canonical topological string partition functions satisfy finite-difference equations in the closed string moduli. In the case of genus one mirror curve these are conjectured to be the q-difference Painlev\'e equations as in Sakai's classification. More precisely, we propose that the tau-functions of q-Painlev\'e equations are related to the grand canonical topological string partition functions on the corresponding geometry. In the toric cases we use topological string/spectral theory duality to give a Fredholm determinant representation for the above tau-functions in terms of the underlying quantum mirror curve. As a consequence, the zeroes of the tau-functions compute the exact spectrum of the associated quantum integrable systems. We provide details of this construction for the local $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$ case, which is related to q-difference Painlev\'e with affine $A_1$ symmetry, to $SU(2)$ Super Yang-Mills in five dimensions and to relativistic Toda system.

A Tau function for $q$-Painlev\'e VI as a Fredholm determinant
The q-Painleve VI tau function is constructed analytically as a Fredholm determinant, with zeros detecting non-solvability of the underlying Riemann-Hilbert problem.

$Q$-operators, $q$-opers, and R-matrices in 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theory
In 5d N=1 U(N) gauge theory, codimension-two defects produce Q-operators whose q-difference equations are the Baxter TQ equations of XXZ spin chains built on bi-infinite evaluation modules of quantum affine algebras.

Five-brane webs, 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories and quantum curves
The Newton polygon of the quantum curve for a 3d N=2 brane configuration is conjectured to equal the toric diagram dual to its (p,q) 5-brane web, with derivations for Lagrangian cases and new matrix models for p>=2.

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

Finiteness and Uniqueness of Duality Cascades in Three Dimensions for Affine Quivers
For affine D and E quiver Chern-Simons theories, duality cascades terminate uniquely only under large-rank restrictions because the associated polytope tiles the parameter space with gaps.
