• Orbifolds of M-strings 

  Haghighat, Babak; Kozçaz, Can; Lockhart, Guglielmo; Vafa, Cumrun (American Physical Society, 2014)

• BPS degeneracies and superconformal index in diverse dimensions 

  Iqbal, Amer; Vafa, Cumrun (American Physical Society, 2014)

  We present a unifying theme relating BPS partition functions and superconformal indices. In the case with complex supersymmetry central charges (as in N = 2 in d = 4 and N = (2, 2) in d = 2), the known results can be ...

• Stringy wave function for an S 3 cosmology 

  Gukov, Sergei; Saraikin, Kirill; Vafa, Cumrun (American Physical Society, 2006)

  Using the recent observations of the relation between the Hartle-Hawking wave function and the topological string partition function, we propose a wave function for scalar metric fluctuations on S-3 embedded in a Calabi-Yau ...
