Quantum Barnes Function as the Partition Function of the Resolved Conifold
We give a bilstein shocks jeep xj short new proof of large N duality between the Chern-Simons invariants of the 3-sphere and the Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the resolved conifold.Our strategy applies to more general situations, and it is to interpret the Gromov-Witten, the Donaldson-Thomas, and the Chern-Simons invariants as differ
