چکیده
We show how the natural Abelian duality of 2 and 3-form gravity theories in 7-dimensional manifold CY3 × S leads to an S-duality between 2 and 3-form theories on simply connected CY3. The massless sector of the 2-form field theory on CY3 corresponds to the A model string field theory. We discuss the complex structure independence of the 2 form theory for a general Kähler manifold and derive the holomorphic anomaly equations for simply connected CY3.

String theorists are interested in several quantum field theories and string theories associated with Calabi–Yau threefolds. The most straightforward of these to formulate is the two-dimensional quantum field theory which governs the physics of a string propagating on the Calabi–Yau threefold. However, making calculations directly with that quantum field theory is quite difficult. To the extent...
متن کاملNon-BPS Branes on a Calabi-Yau Threefold and Bose-Fermi Degeneracy
We consider the spectrum of open strings for non-BPS D-brane configuration in type II string theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold. In general, there is no degeneracy between bosonic and fermionic states. However we find special values for the moduli space of Calabi-Yau threefolds there are non-BPS brane configurations which have an exact degeneracy between bosonic and fermionic states. For these va...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theory for Calabi-Yau threefolds and G2-manifolds
In the past two decades we have witnessed many fruitful interactions between mathematics and physics. One example is in the Donaldson-Floer theory for oriented four manifolds. Physical considerations lead to the discovery of the Seiberg-Witten theory which has profound impact to our understandings of four manifolds. Another example is in the mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds. This dualit...
