Figure 15

The spectral curve for the conifold matrix model (5.9) in arbitrary closed BPS chamber coincides with the mirror curve of the closed topological vertex geometry, whose toric diagram is shown above. This geometry has three 1 moduli, which encode conifold size 𝑄 , the closed BPS chamber via 𝜇 , and finite 't Hooft coupling via 𝑒 𝑇 .
