Macdonald topological vertices and brane condensates
Abstract
We show, in a number of simple examples, that Macdonald-type qt-deformations of topological string partition functions are equivalent to topological string partition functions that are without qt-deformations but with brane condensates, and that these brane condensates lead to geometric transitions.
