abstract

We investigate the possibility that stringy nonperturbative effects appear as holes in the world-sheet. We focus on the case of Dirichlet string theory, which we argue should be formulated differently than in previous work, and we find that the effects of boundaries are naturally weighted by $e^{-O(1/g_{\rm st})}$.

  1. Aspects of Closed Matricial Worlds

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Higher-genus corrections to the 2D de Sitter disk path integral follow a universal structure that at large boundary length mimics topological gravity, with new explicit expressions through genus six.

  2. Instanton-Induced Closed-String Amplitudes in Minimal Superstring Theory at Subleading Order

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Explicit computation of instanton-induced amplitudes in minimal superstring theories at subleading order, after regulating open-string degenerations with string field theory, yields exact agreement with DDK-KPZ scaling.

  3. Non-Perturbative Real Topological Strings

    hep-th 2023-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  4. All the D-Branes of Resurgence

    hep-th 2023-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Modular resurgence of topological string

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Stokes constants of topological string non-perturbative contributions are invariant on monodromy orbits, reproduce the BPS spectrum, and satisfy the Kontsevich-Soibelman Lie algebra.

  6. Topological Thermodynamics of Black Holes: Revisiting the methods of winding numbers calculation

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The φ-mapping and residue methods for black-hole winding numbers are proven equivalent when M''S'−S''M'≠0, and neutral and charged black strings both have W=+1.
