چکیده
Abstract In this chapter, we collect some information on various constructions of manifolds, orbifolds, and their covers. Notably, discuss the notions fiber product (in sense Thurston) compositum manifolds over a common developable orbifold, difference with set-theoretic product, connected components Galois covers, normal closure cover, relation between commensurability, arithmeticity, existence certain covers in to Mostow rigidity.

Non-Perturbative effects from orbifold constructions
We indicate how consistent heterotic orbifold compactifications, including non perturbative information, can be constructed. We first analyse the situation in six dimensions, N = 1, where strong coupling effects, implying the presence of five branes, are better known. We show that anomaly free models can be obtained even the usual modular invariance constraints are not satisfied. The perturbati...
متن کاملHeterotic string on the simplest Calabi-Yau manifold and its orbifold limits.
We study the heterotic string on the simplest (non-trivial) Calabi-Yau man-ifold, K3, and its orbifold limits. We set the background gauge connection equal to the spin connection. The massless spectrum of the field theory that is the low energy limit of the Es @ Es string is derived on K3. Some terms in the effective Lagrangian for the massless modes are shown to be determined by the topology o...

By considering constraints on the dimensions of the Lie algebra corresponding to the weight one states of Z 2 and Z 3 orbifold models arising from imposing the appropriate modular properties on the graded characters of the automorphisms on the underlying conformal field theory, we propose a set of constructions of all but one of the 71 self-dual meromorphic bosonic conformal field theories at c...
متن کاملOrbifold Cohomology of a Wreath Product Orbifold
Abstract. Let [X/G] be an orbifold which is a global quotient of a compact almost complex manifold X by a finite group G. Let Σn be the symmetric group on n letters. Their semidirect product G ⋊ Σn is called the wreath product of G and it naturally acts on the n-fold product X, yielding the orbifold [X/(G ⋊Σn)]. Let H (X , G ⋊Σn) be the stringy cohomology [FG, JKK1] of the (G ⋊ Σn)-space X . Wh...
متن کاملOrbifold and Five-branes
We study M(atrix) theory description of M theory compactified on T5/Z2 orbifold. In the large volume limit we show that M theory dynamics is described by N = 8 supersymmetric USp(2N) M(atrix) quantum mechanics. Via zero-brane parton scattering, we show that each orbifold fixed point carries anomalous G-flux ∮ [G/2π] = −1/2. To cancel the anomalous Gflux , we introduce twisted sector consisting ...
