Superconformal partition functions and non-perturbative topological strings

Abstract We propose a non-perturbative definition for refined topological strings. This can be used to compute the partition function of superconformal theories in 5 dimensions on squashed S 5 and the superconformal index of a large number of 6 dimensional (2, 0) and (1, 0) theories, including that...
