22 Oct 1999 | | Journal: | Adv.Theor.Math.Phys. 3 (1999) 1445-1537 | | Subject: | hep-th | | Abstract: | We consider M-theory compactification on Calabi-Yau threefolds. The recently discovered connection between the BPS states of wrapped M2 branes and the topological string amplitudes on the threefold is used both as a tool to compute topological string amplitudes at higher genera as well as to unravel the degeneracies and quantum numbers of BPS states. Moduli spaces of $k$-fold symmetric products of the wrapped M2 brane play a crucial role. We also show that the topological string partition function is the Calabi-Yau version of the elliptic genus of the symmetric product of $K3$’s and use the macroscopic entropy of spinning black holes in 5 dimensions to obtain new predictions for the asymptotic growth of the topological string amplitudes at high genera. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/9910181 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
