A formula of two-partition Hodge integrals
JMg,n where tpi = ci(L?) is the first Chern class of L?, and Xj = Cj(E) is the j-th Chern class of the Hodge bundle. The study of Hodge integrals is an important part of intersection theory on Mg,n> Hodge integrals also naturally arise when one computes Gromov-Witten invariants by localization techniques. For example, the following generating series of Hodge integrals arises when one computes local invariants of a toric Fano surface in a Calabi-Yau 3-fold by virtual localization [33]:

Crepant Resolutions, Quivers and GW/NCDT Duality
We propose a conjecture that relates some local Gromov-Witten invariants of some crepant resolutions of Calabi-Yau 3-folds with isolated singularities with some Donaldson-Thomas type invariants of the moduli spaces of representations of some quivers with potentials.

A Proof of a Conjecture of Mariño-Vafa on Hodge Integrals
Fluorinated thermoplastic elastomers having a block structure: -[-Rf-H1-H2-H1-]- where -Rf- is a perfluoropolyoxyalkylene sequence of formula: -CF2O-(CF2CF2O)m-(CF2O)n-CF2- with m/n=0.2 DIVIDED 5, H1 and H2, equal or different from each other, are bivalent radicals having arylene, alkylarylene, alkylene or cycloalkylene structure, optionally containing fluorine and/or other heteroatoms selected among oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen. Such products are obtainable by utilizing a perfluoropolyoxyalkylene diol having a functionality at least equal to 1.97, preferably at least equal to 1.99, and are characterized by a tensile strength at 23 DEG C. at least 50% higher than that of the corresponding polyesters obtained starting from perfluoropolyoxyalkylene diols having a functionality not higher than 1.96.

A proof of the full Mariño-Vafa conjecture
We present a proof of the full Mari\~no-Vafa Conjecture that identifies certain open string invariants of the resolved conifold with the Chern-Simons knot invariant of the unknot, i.e. the quantum dimensions.

Color entanglement for γ-jet production in polarized pA collisions
A more reliable treatment of transverse momentum dependent physics and in particular transverse single spin asymmetries is urgently required, e.g. for polarized pA physics including novel effects like color entanglement. We argue that the measurement of azimuthal angular correlations of photons and jets produced in pA collisions provides a direct access to the novel gluon distribution $G_4$ that enters into many such processes.

Twist-three Fragmentation Function Contribution to the Single Spin Asymmetryin pp Collisions
We study the twist-three fragmentation function contribution to the single transverse spin asymmetries in inclusive hadron production in pp collisions, pp->h+X. In particular, we evaluate the so-called derivative contribution which dominates the spin asymmetry in the forward direction of the polarized proton. With certain parametrizations for the twist-three fragmentation function, we estimate its contribution to the asymmetry of pi0 production at RHIC energy. We find that the contribution is sizable and might be responsible for the big difference between the asymmetries in eta and pi0 productions observed by the STAR collaboration at RHIC.

Distribution of linearly polarized gluons inside a large nucleus
The distribution of linearly polarized gluons inside a large nucleus is studied in the framework of the color glass condensate. We find that the Weizsacker-Williams distribution saturates the positivity bound at large transverse momenta and is suppressed at small transverse momenta, whereas the dipole distribution saturates the bound for any value of the transverse momentum. We also discuss processes in which both distributions of linearly polarized gluons can be probed.

Transverse single spin asymmetry in the Drell-Yan process
We revisit the transverse single spin asymmetry in the angular distribution of a Drell-Yan dilepton pair. We study this asymmetry by using twist-3 collinear factorization, and we obtain the same result both in covariant gauge and in the light-cone gauge. Moreover, we have checked the electromagnetic gauge invariance of our calculation. Our final expression for the asymmetry differs from all the previous results given in the literature. The overall sign of this asymmetry is as important as the sign of the Sivers asymmetry in Drell-Yan.

Dihadron fragmentation functions for large invariant mass.
Using perturbative quantum chromodynamics, we compute dihadron fragmentation functions for a large invariant mass of the dihadron pair. The main focus is on the interference fragmentation function H(1)(∢), which plays an important role in spin physics of the nucleon. Our calculation also reveals that H(1)(∢) and the Collins fragmentation function have closely related underlying dynamics. By considering semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, we further show that collinear factorization in terms of dihadron fragmentation functions and collinear factorization in terms of single-hadron fragmentation functions provide the same result in the region of intermediate invariant mass.
