The String Landscape, the Swampland, and the Missing Corner (2017, background): “f the D3-branes probing the Calabi-Yau singularity. See [127{129] for more details. B Review of Topological Strings In this appendix, we will review some basics of topological string theory following [101]. Topological string theory is the reduction of string theory to the topological sector: the pa”
Low-dimensional de Sitter quantum gravity (2019, background): “to the positive and negative imaginary axes respectively. For a large Lmatrix models with a single cut, the function R 0;2 only depends on the endpoints of the cut, and has a universal form. See e.g. [47]. Further, R 0;2 simplies in the double-scaled limit, in which one end of the cut is at E = 0 an”
