Abstract

After briefly reviewing the dictionary between branes of Type IIB string theory and representations of the simplest quantum toroidal algebra, I will present a new class of brane setups which I call spiralling branes. Partition functions of these remarkable configurations reproduce K-theoretic vertex partition function, while on the algebraic side they correspond to Drinfeld twists of R-matrices. Time permitting, I will also discuss other applications of spiralling branes.
