Mirror Symmetry in Generalized Calabi–Yau Compactifications
We discuss mirror symmetry in generalized Calabi–Yau compactifications of type II string theories with background NS fluxes. Starting from type IIB compactified on Calabi– Yau threefolds with NS three-form flux we show that the mirror type IIA theory arises from a purely geometrical compactification on a different class of six-manifolds. These mirror manifolds have SU(3) structure and are terme...
متن کاملCompactifications of Moduli Spaces Inspired by Mirror Symmetry
The study of moduli spaces by means of the period mapping has found its greatest success for moduli spaces of varieties with trivial canonical bundle, or more generally, varieties with Kodaira dimension zero. Now these moduli spaces play a pivotal rôle in the classification theory of algebraic varieties, since varieties with nonnegative Kodaira dimension which are not of general type admit bira...
متن کاملType B Topological Matter , Kodaira - Spencer Theory , and Mirror Symmetry
Perturbing usual type B topological matter with vector (0, 1)-forms we find a topological theory which contains explicitly Kodaira-Spencer deformation theory. It is shown that, in genus zero, three-point correlation functions give the Yukawa couplings for a generic point in the moduli space of complex structures. This generalization of type B topological matter seems to be the correct framework...
متن کاملChern-Simons-Matter Theory and Mirror Symmetry
In this paper we study supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter (CSM) theories with several Higgs branches. Two such theories at small Chern-Simons level are conjectured to describe the superconformal field theory at the infrared fixed point of N = 4 QED with Nf = 2, 3. In particular, the mirror symmetry which exchanges the Coulomb and Higgs branches of N = 4 QED with Nf = 2 is manifest in the Chern-...
متن کاملHyperkähler Quotients, Mirror Symmetry, and F-theory
Using the graphical method developed in hep-th/9908082, we obtain the full curve corresponding to the hyperkähler quotient from the extended E7 Dynkin diagram. As in the E6 case discussed in the same paper above, the resulting curve is the same as the one obtained by Minahan and Nemeschansky. Our results seem to indicate that it is possible to define a generalized Coulomb branch such that four ...
