Matrix models, topological strings, and supersymmetric gauge theories
Robbert Dijkgraaf,Cumrun Vafa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that B-model topological strings on local Calabi-Yau threefolds are large-N duals of matrix models, which in the planar limit naturally give rise to special geometry.

A Perturbative Window into Non-Perturbative Physics
Robbert Dijkgraaf,Cumrun Vafa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the effective superpotential as a function of the glueball chiral superfield is exactly given by a summation of planar diagrams of the same gauge theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
On geometry and matrix models
Robbert Dijkgraaf,Cumrun Vafa +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relation between matrix models, topological strings and N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories was studied and it was shown that by considering double scaling limits of unitary matrix models one can obtain large-N duals of the local Calabi-Yau geometries that engineer N = 2 gauge theories.

A Black Hole Farey Tail
TL;DR: In this article, an exact expression for the Fourier coefficients of elliptic genera of Calabi-Yau manifolds was derived for k-fold symmetric products of K3 surfaces and applied to studying the AdS/CFT correspondence on AdS3 x S3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Triples, Fluxes, and Strings
Jan de Boer,Robbert Dijkgraaf,David R. Morrison,John Morgan,Savdeep Sethi,Kentaro Hori,Arjan Keurentjes +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied string compactications with sixteen supersymmetries and showed that the moduli space for these compactications becomes quite intricate in lower dimensions, partly because there are many dierent irreducible components.
