Branes and Toric Geometry
We show that toric geometry can be used rather effectively to translate a brane configuration to geometry. Roughly speaking the skeletons of toric space are identified with the brane configurations. The cases where the local geometry involves hypersurfaces in toric varieties (such as P blown up at more than 3 points) presents a challenge for the brane picture. We also find a simple physical exp...

Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank Philip Candelas for his invaluable help throughout my four years in Oxford. I also owe special thanks to Bogdan Florea, Marcos Mariño and Harald Skarke for stimulating and enjoyable collaborations on the research topics discussed in this thesis. many others for interesting mathematical physics discussions. Many thanks to my parents, who...
متن کاملFlag Manifolds and Toric Geometry
1.1. Flag Manifolds. One of the best understood examples of algebraic varieties is the flag manifold. One is first interested in flag varieties as they are well-defined examples for many basic concepts. Besides this, however, one can find that they deserve individual attention, for they naturally arise in many circumstances, e.g. in the theory of characteristic classes of vector bundles, mirror...
متن کاملScattering amplitudes and AdS/CFT
Scattering amplitudes in the maximally supersymmetric N = 4 gauge theory are known to possess some remarkable features. The reasons for this are not completely understood, but some possible candidates are: the integrability properties of the theory, the existence of a gravitational dual and the existence of a twistor space description. I will not try to give a detailed description of the N = 4 ...
متن کاملHELICITY AND PLANAR AMPLITUDES IN PION-PROTON SCATTERING AT 6.0 GeV/c
In addition to optimal conditions, invariant laws of Lorentz, parity and time reversal are imposed to find the relation between observables (spin rotation parameters) and bilinear combination of helicity amplitudes in pion-proton elastic scattering at 6.0 GeV/c. By normalizing the differential cross-section to unity, the magnitudes of helicity amplitudes and the angle between them are dete...
