We consider world-sheet instanton effects in N=1 string orientifolds ofnoncompact toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. We show that unoriented closed stringtopological amplitudes can be exactly computed using localization techniquesfor holomorphic maps with involution. Our results are in precise agreement withmirror symmetry and large N duality predictions.Comment: 25 pages, 10 figures, published version; v4: typos correcte
