D-branes on some one- and two-parameter Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
D-branes on one-parameter Calabi-Yau spaces and two-parameter K3-fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds are analyzed from both the Gepner model point of view and the geometric perspective. We compute part of the spectrum of the boundary states and comment on the appearance of the D0-brane as well as on nonsupersymmetric large volume configurations becoming supersymmetric at the Gepner point. ∗Resarch supported in part by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and by the European Commission TMR programme ERBFMRX-CT96-0049

Towards Open String Mirror Symmetry for One–Parameter Calabi–Yau Hypersurfaces
This work is concerned with branes and differential equations for one–parameter Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. For a certain class of B–branes we derive the inhomogeneous Picard–Fuchs equations satisfied by brane superpotential. In this way we arrive at a prediction for the real BPS invariants for holomorphic maps of worldsheets with low Euler characteristics, ending on...
متن کاملD - branes on Calabi - Yau Spaces
In this thesis the properties of D-branes on Calabi–Yau spaces are investigated. Compactifications of type II string theories on these spaces to which D-branes are added lead to N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories on the world-volume of these D-branes. Both the Calabi–Yau spaces and the D-branes have in general a moduli space. We examine the dependence of the gauge theory on the choice of the m...
متن کاملModel building with intersecting D6-branes on smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds
We study intersecting D6-branes in Calabi-Yau manifolds that are smooth hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. We develop the techniques for calculating intersection numbers between special Lagrangian sub-manifolds defined as fixed loci of anti-holomorphic involutions. We present global Pati-Salam and MSSM-like models that are supersymmetric up to a decoupled hidden sector. ∗email: palti@...
متن کاملTorus Fibrations of Calabi-Yau Hypersurfaces in Toric Varieties and Mirror Symmetry
We consider regular Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in N -dimensional smooth toric varieties. On such a hypersurface in the neighborhood of the large complex structure limit point we construct a fibration over a sphere S whose generic fibers are tori T. Also for certain one-parameter families of such hypersurfaces we show that the monodromy transformation is induced by a translation of the T fibration...
