D-branes and the planar limit of Chern-Simons theory I: Link invariants
Abstract
We revisit the Holographic duality between SU(N) Chern-Simons theory and the A-model Topological String Theory. We develop a strategy to systematically compute the large N saddles for correlation functions of Wilson lines in antisymmetric powers CN of the fundamental representation. The mathematical structures which appear in the calculation match in detail the data of dual A-model D-branes.
