Abstract: We obtain exact results in alpha' for open and closed A-model topological string amplitudes on a large class of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds by using their correspondence with five dimensional gauge theories. The toric Calabi-Yau's that we analyze are obtained as minimal resolution of cones over Y(p,q) manifolds and give rise via M-theory compactification to SU(p) gauge theories on R^4 x S^1. As an application we present a detailed study of the local F_2 case and compute open and closed genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of the C^3/Z_4 orbifold. We also display the modular structure of the topological wave function and give predictions for higher genus amplitudes.The mirror curve in this case is the spectral curve of the relativistic A_1 Toda chain. Our results also indicate the existence of a wider class of relativistic integrable systems associated to generic Y(p,q) geometries.


This paper uses physical methods to obtain results or predictions on the A-model topological string theory on toric Calabi-Yau threefolds, including certain open and closed Gromov-Witten invariants. The method they employed is the duality in M-theory which identies the above A-model with certian gauge theory on \(\mathbb R^4\times S^1\), when the underlying Calabi-Yau is a resolution of cones over a five dimensional Sasaki-Einstein manifold \(Y^{p,q}\). Explicit examples for local \(\mathbb F_2\) and \([\mathbb C^3 / \mathbb Z_4]\) are studied in detail.
