We give a short ps5 price south carolina new proof of large N duality between the Chern-Simons invariants of the 3-sphere and the Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the resolved conifold.Our strategy applies to more general situations, and it is to interpret the Gromov-Witten, the Donaldson-Thomas, and the Chern-Simons invariants as different characterizations of the same holomorphic function.For the resolved conifold, this tinsel para tile function turns out to be the quantum Barnes function, a natural q-deformation of the classical one that in its turn generalizes the Euler gamma function.

Our reasoning is based on a new formula for this function that expresses it as a graded product of q-shifted multifactorials.
