Description

In this talk I will discuss some implications of non-perturbative topological string
theory for arithmetic properties in special geometry. I will mostly discuss the TS/ST correspondence, which provides a non-perturbative definition of topological string theory on toric Calabi-Yau manifolds.
In this correspondence, the quantization of the curve leads to predictions for the values of the periods at the so-called maximal conifold point. If time permits, I will make some comments on the relation between arithmetic and resurgence.
