Geometric Transition as a Change of Polarization

TL;DR

This paper explores the Dijkgraaf-Vafa topological string duality by analyzing the partition function's wavefunction behavior, revealing that the geometric transition can be interpreted as a change of polarization.

Contribution

It demonstrates that the geometric transition in topological string duality corresponds to a change of polarization in the wavefunction framework.

Findings

Geometric transition corresponds to a change of polarization.

Partition function behaves as a wavefunction in the duality.

Supports wavefunction interpretation of topological string dualities.

Abstract

Taking the results of hep-th/0702110 we study the Dijkgraaf-Vafa open/closed topological string duality by considering the wavefunction behavior of the partition function. We find that the geometric transition associated with the duality can be seen as a change of polarization.
