Super String Theory is a mayor attempt to unify gauge theories with quantum gravity. Compactifications of string theory on varieties with special holonomy including calibrated submanifolds leads to quantum theories in various dimensions. Mathematical well defined sub-sectors of these theories are the topological string- and field theories. Their correlators determine topological invariants of the geometric setting. Often are different physical formulations with different manifest symmetries and duality symmetries among them available. Based on these we extended the methods to calculate the correlators exactly, such as mirror symmetry, the string/gauge theory correspondence, the modular-- and the integrable system approach. In particular using the string/gauge theory correspondence we provided with the topological vertex and the topological recursions two major tools, which are widely in use. We used mirror symmetry and the modular approach to obtain high genus amplitudes on compact Calabi-Yau spaces and showed that the all genus topological string amplitudes on elliptically fibred Calabi-Yau spaces can be expressed in terms of meromorphic Jacobi forms.
