Abstract
We study topological string amplitudes for the FHSV model using various
techniques. This model has a type II realization involving a Calabi-Yau
threefold with Enriques fibres, which we call the Enriques Calabi-Yau. By
applying heterotic/type IIA duality, we compute the topological amplitudes in
the fibre to all genera. It turns out that there are two different ways to do
the computation that lead to topological couplings with different BPS content.
One of them leads to the standard D0-D2 counting amplitudes, and from the other
one we obtain information about bound states of D0-D4-D2 branes on the Enriques
fibre. We also study the model using mirror symmetry and the holomorphic
anomaly equations. We verify in this way the heterotic results for the D0-D2
generating functional for low genera and find closed expressions for the
topological amplitudes on the total space in terms of modular forms, and up to
genus four. This model turns out to be much simpler than the generic B-model
and might be exactly solvable.
