Introduction I
É The perturbative free energies F (g ) satisfy some DEs that were solved using
Feynman diagrams in [2] but become intractable at higher genus.
É In [3], this issue was resolved due to a polynomial structure of the higher
genus free energies in finitely many generators.

É In order to study Black Holes in string theory, a guiding principle is that string
theory dualities should remain preserved. [4]
É Let M be the moduli space of a CY threefold Y.
É The free energy F depends on holomorphic and non-holomorphic
generators. [5]
É In particular we are looking for the highest degree term of F in the
non-holomorphic generator S z z , which is of the form f (z )(S z z )3g −3 , where
f (z ) is a rational function of the modulus z .
2g −2
É Those terms turn out to be of the form [2] f (z ) = a g C z z z , a g ∈ Q. C z z z
are holomorphic Yukawa couplings.
Scaling limit I
2g −2
É We would like to select the terms a g C z z z (S z z )3g −3 from F .
É To this end, we rescale the generators S z z and λ such that only these terms
survive.
