Description

In this talk I will show that the topological open string partition function on local Calabi-Yau manifolds transforms as a wavefunction under modular transformations, generalizing the known result for the closed topological string sector. This in turn has an interesting application in computing vacuum expectation values of 1/2 BPS Wilson loops in ABJM theory at all genera in a strong coupling expansion, which I will discuss.
