We give a worldsheet proof of the equivalence between the U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory on S^3 and the topological closed string theory on the resolved conifold geometry. When the `t Hooft coupling of the gauge theory is small, the dual closed string worldsheet develops a new branch. We show that the fluctuations of the worldsheet into this branch effectively correspond to ``holes'' on the worldsheet, generating an open string sector. This leads to a microscopic description of how the `t Hooft expansion of gauge theory amplitudes is reproduced in the closed string computation. We find that the closed string amplitudes also contain terms which are not captured in the `t Hooft expansion but are present in the exact computation in the gauge theory amplitudes. These arise when the whole Riemann surface is in the new branch. We also discuss the cases with SO and Sp gauge groups.

Strings from Feynman Diagrams
Every Feynman diagram in a two-matrix model is mapped to a unique closed string worldsheet and Belyi embedding, with the diagram's weight equal to the string action.

The Topologically Twisted Index in the 't Hooft Limit and the Dual AdS$_4$ Black Hole Entropy
The leading term of the ABJM topologically twisted index in the 't Hooft limit equals the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the dual AdS4 black holes, with sub-leading terms including a predicted -(7/6) log lambda contribution.

Topological A-Model for $AdS_5\times S^5$ Superstring and the Maldacena Conjecture
A topological A-model from CP^{3|4} supertwistors is claimed to reproduce the 't Hooft expansion of N=4 SYM and is related to the pure spinor AdS5×S5 superstring.
