Yang-Mills and other gauge theories in quantum field theory (81T13) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)

Abstract: We construct an Imbimbo-Mukhi type matrix model, which reproduces exactly the partition function of $mathbb{CP}^1$ topological strings in the small phase space, Nekrasov's instanton counting in $calN=2$ gauge theory and the large $N$ limit of the partition function in 2-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on a sphere. In addition, we propose a dual Stieltjes-Wigert type matrix model, which emerges when all-genus topological string amplitudes on certain simple toric Calabi-Yau manifolds are compared with the Imbimbo-Mukhi type model.
