Resolved Toroidal Orbifolds and their Orientifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the resolution of toroidal orbifolds. For the resulting smooth Calabi–Yau manifolds, we calculate the intersection ring and determine the divisor topologies. In a next step, the orientifold quotients are constructed.

On Large N Gauge Theories from Orientifolds
We consider four dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories obtained via orientifolds of Type IIB on Abelian C/Γ orbifolds. We construct all such theories that have well defined world-sheet expansion. The number of such orientifolds is rather limited. We explain this fact in the context of recent developments in four dimensional Type IIB orientifolds. In particular, we elaborate these issu...
متن کاملModuli Stabilization in Toroidal Type IIB Orientifolds
We discuss the first step in the moduli stabilization program a la KKLT for a general class of resolved toroidal type IIB orientifolds. In particular, we discuss their geometry, the topology of the divisors relevant for the D3–brane instantons which can contribute to the superpotential, and some non–trivial aspects of the orientifold action.
متن کاملPenrose Limits of Orbifolds and Orientifolds
We study the Penrose limit of various AdSp × Sq orbifolds. The limiting spaces are waves with parallel rays and singular wave fronts. In particular, we consider the orbifolds AdS3 × S3/Γ, AdS5 × S5/Γ and AdS4,7 × S7,4/Γ where Γ acts on the sphere and/or the AdS factor. In the pp-wave limit the wave fronts are the orbifolds C2/Γ, C4/Γ and R × C4/Γ, respectively. When desingularization is possibl...
متن کاملMagnetized Type I Orbifolds in Four Dimensions
I review the basic features of four dimensional Z2×Z2 (shift) orientifolds with internal magnetic fields, describing two examples with N = 1 supersymmetry. As in the corresponding six-dimensional examples, D9branes magnetized along four internal directions can mimic D5-branes, even in presence of multiplets of image branes localized on different fixed tori. Chiral low-energy spectra can be obta...
متن کاملOn Four Dimensional N = 1 Type I Compactifications
We consider four dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric Type I compactifications on toroidal orbifolds T /Γ. In particular, we focus on the Type I vacua which are perturbative from the orientifold viewpoint, that is, on the compactifications with well defined world-sheet expansion. The number of such models is rather constrained. This allows us to study all such vacua. This, in particular, involves c...
