Higher-Order Corrections to Non-Compact Calabi-Yau Manifolds in String Theory
At the leading order, the low-energy effective field equations in string theory admit solutions of the form of products of Minkowski spacetime and a Ricci-flat Calabi-Yau space. The equations of motion receive corrections at higher orders in α′, which imply that the Ricci-flat Calabi-Yau space is modified. In an appropriate choice of scheme, the Calabi-Yau space remains Kähler, but is no longer...
متن کاملStable Rank-2 Bundles on Calabi-yau Manifolds
Recently there is a surge of research interest in the construction of stable vector bundles on Calabi-Yau manifolds motivated by questions from string theory. An interesting aspect of the moduli spaces of stable sheaves on Calabi-Yau manifolds is their relation to the higher dimensional gauge theory studied by Donaldson, R. Thomas and Tian et al. [D-T, Tho, Tia]. A holomorphic Casson invariant ...
متن کاملGauge Theoretical Construction of Non-compact Calabi-Yau Manifolds
We construct the non-compact Calabi-Yau manifolds interpreted as the complex line bundles over the Hermitian symmetric spaces. These manifolds are the various generalizations of the complex line bundle over CP. Imposing an F-term constraint on the line bundle over CP, we obtain the line bundle over the complex quadric surface Q. On the other hand, when we promote the U(1) gauge symmetry in CP t...
متن کاملCalabi–Yau manifolds for dummies
In the text below we try to introduce the concept of a Calabi–Yau manifold. We start by defining vector bundles and complex manifolds, then introduce Kähler manifolds, review the most rudimentary concepts of Chern classes and then define Calabi–Yau manifolds. We also comment on the importance of Calabi–Yau manifolds in physics. As an example to guide us on the way, we have chosen the two-sphere...
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...
