Macdonald topological vertices and brane condensates
arXiv:1801.04943 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2018.10.001
Abstract
We show, in a number of simple examples, that Macdonald-type $qt$-deformations of topological string partition functions are equivalent to topological string partition functions that are without $qt$-deformations but with brane condensates, and that these brane condensates lead to geometric transitions.
