Equivariant topological strings and holography (Kiril HRISTOV, Sofia University)

09.10.2025 14:00

In this talk, I propose a holographic map between equivariant topological strings and M2-brane partition functions, involving a Laplace transform. This hypothesis is tested perturbatively by first analyzing the definition of the equivariant volume and equivariant intersection numbers for a toric Calabi–Yau manifold, which in turn allows for the definition of topological string constant maps. The perturbative prediction for the dual (squashed) S3 partition function is then derived and shown to agree with known localization results. Finally, we discuss how this proposal relates to the TS/ST correspondence and its equivariant extension.
