INTRODUCTIONIn the past few years, there has be<strong>en</strong> some interest in the study of the topological vertexformalism of toric Calabi–Yau threefold CY3. 1 This interest has followed the basic result, accordingto which the topological vertex C is a powerful tool to compute toric CY3 topologicalstring amplitudes. 1–4,23 It also came from the remarkable relation betwe<strong>en</strong> C and the Gromov–Witt<strong>en</strong> invariants of g<strong>en</strong>us g-curves in toric CY3s. 5–7Rec<strong>en</strong>tly it has be<strong>en</strong> shown that the standard topological three-vertex C q may have twokinds of g<strong>en</strong>eralizations: one known as the refining of C q and the other as its shifting.In the first case, the refined topological vertex R q,t is a two parameter function computingthe refined topological string amplitudes of toric CY3s. 8–10 It has be<strong>en</strong> found also thatR q,t computes as well the Nekrasov’s 11 instantons of the topological string free <strong>en</strong>ergyFX I , 1 , 2 of four dim<strong>en</strong>sional SUN gauge theories. 12 In Nekrasov’s ext<strong>en</strong>sion, the usualtopological string coupling constant g top =ln1/q gets replaced by the pair of parameters 1 and 2 . 13 In the second case, the standard MacMahon function C 3 q Refs. 3 and 14 has be<strong>en</strong> ext<strong>en</strong>dedto the so-called shifted partition function S 3 q. This is the g<strong>en</strong>erating function of the shifted planepartitions and it is used in the study of BKP hierarchy. 15–18The aim of this paper is to contribute to this matter by combining both the refining and theshifting operations to get the refined-shifted topological vertex T q,t ext<strong>en</strong>ding R q,t andS 3 q obtained rec<strong>en</strong>tly in literature. More precisely, we want to complete the missing relationspres<strong>en</strong>ted in the two following tables:iFirst, we determine the refined version of the shifted MacMahon function S 3 q obtainedby Foda and Wheeler. The refined version of S 3 q, d<strong>en</strong>oted below as T 3 q,t, is missing.It is a two parameter function g<strong>en</strong>erating shifted 3d-partitions needed to complete the table,C 3 q = known: Eq. 2.4refining→shifting ↓ ↓ shiftingS 3 q = known: Eq. 2.9refining→R 3 q,t = known: Eq. 2.8T 3 q,t = ... ?. 1.1a Electronic mail: drissilb@gmail.com.b Electronic mail: jehjouh@gmail.com.c Electronic mail: h-saidi@fsr.ac.ma.0022-2488/2009/501/013509/12/$25.0050, 013509-1© 2009 American Institute of PhysicsDownloaded 24 Mar 2009 to 140.105.16.64.
