N=2⋆ from topological amplitudes in string theory
In this paper, we explicitly construct string theory backgrounds that realise the so-called N=2⋆ gauge theory. We prove the consistency of our models by calculating their partition function and obtaining the correct gauge theory spectrum. We further provide arguments in favour of the universality of...
