Conifold geometries, topological strings, and multimatrix models
Conifold geometries, topological strings, and multimatrix models
We study the open B-model representing D-branes on 2-cycles of local Calabi-Yau geometries. To this end we work out a reduction technique linking D-brane partition functions and multimatrix models in the case of conifold geometries so that the matrix potential is related to the complex moduli of the conifold. We …
