N = 1 Heterotic / M - theory Duality and Joyce Manifolds
We present an ansatz which enables us to construct heterotic/M-theory dual pairs in four dimensions. It is checked that this ansatz reproduces previous results and that the massless spectra of the proposed new dual pairs agree. The new dual pairs consist of M-theory compactifications on Joyce manifolds of G 2 holonomy and Calabi-Yau compactifications of heterotic strings. These results are furt...
متن کاملDirichlet Duality and the Nonlinear Dirichlet Problem on Riemannian Manifolds
In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear secondorder equations on a riemannian manifold. As in our previous paper [HL4] we define equations via closed subsets of the 2-jet bundle where each equation has a natural dual equation. Basic existence and uniqueness theorems are established in a wide variety of settings. However, the emphasis is on starting with a constant coeff...
متن کاملDirichlet Duality and the Nonlinear Dirichlet Problem
We study the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear, degenerate elliptic equations of the form F.Hessu/ D 0 on a smoothly bounded domain b Rn. In our approach the equation is replaced by a subset F Sym.Rn/ of the symmetric n nmatrices with @F fF D 0g. We establish the existence and uniqueness of continuous solutions under an explicit geometric “F -convexity” assumption on the boundary @. We a...
متن کاملA ug 1 99 5 QMW - th / 95 - 28 N = 1 Heterotic - Supergravity Duality and Joyce Manifolds
We construct the heterotic dual theory in four dimensions of eleven dimensional supergravity compactified on a particular Joyce manifold, J. In particular J is constructed from resolving fixed point singular-ities of orbifolds of the seven-torus in such a way that one is forced to consider a generalised orbifold compactification on the heterotic side. We conjecture that a heterotic dual exists ...
متن کاملAnalytic Torsion and R-Torsion for Manifolds with Boundary
We prove a formula relating the analytic torsion and Reidemeister torsion on manifolds with boundary in the general case when the metric is not necessarily a product near the boundary. The product case has been established by W. Luc̈k and S. M. Vishik. We find that the extra term that comes in here in the nonproduct case is the transgression of the Euler class in the even dimensional case and a ...
