Quantum Barnes function as the partition function of the resolved conifold

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We suggest a new strategy for proving large N duality by interpreting Gromov-Witten, Donaldson-Thomas and Chern-Simons invariants of a Calabi-Yau threefold as different characterizations of the same holomorphic function. For the resolved conifold this function turns out to be the quantum Barnes function, a natural q-deformation of the classical one that in its turn generalizes Euler's gamma function. Our reasoning is based on a new formula for this function that expresses it as a graded product of q-shifted multifactorials.
