Notes on integrating out M2 branes
Abstract Integrating out supersymmetric M2 branes wrapped on two-cycles in Calabi–Yau manifolds is an important calculation: it allows the determination of, and in some ways defines, the free energy of topological strings. In these notes, based on a short course aimed at graduate students, we go thr...

| description | Abstract Integrating out supersymmetric M2 branes wrapped on two-cycles in Calabi–Yau manifolds is an important calculation: it allows the determination of, and in some ways defines, the free energy of topological strings. In these notes, based on a short course aimed at graduate students, we go through various aspects of this calculation in detail. The end result is a recently proposed new formula for the topological string free energy. |
