Semistability of Certain Bundles on a Quintic Calabi-Yau Threefold

چکیده
In a recent paper Douglas and Zhou aim for explicit examples of string theory compactifications that have a different number of generations and can be connected. For this purpose, they provide a list of bundles on a quintic Calabi-Yau threefold. They need to show that (at least some of) these bundles are semistable and leave this as an open question. In this paper we prove the semistability of most of the bundles in the list, thus completing the result of Douglas and Zhou.

In this note we search the parameter space of Horrocks-Mumford quintic threefolds and locate a Calabi-Yau threefold which is modular, in the sense that the L-function of its middle-dimensional cohomology is associated to a classical modular form of weight 4 and level 55.

This note shows that a certain toric quotient of the quintic Calabi–Yau threefold in P provides a counterexample to a recent conjecture of Cox and Katz concerning nef cones of toric hypersurfaces.
متن کاملA Modular Non-Rigid Calabi-Yau Threefold
We construct an algebraic variety by resolving singularities of a quintic Calabi-Yau threefold. The middle cohomology of the threefold is shown to contain a piece coming from a pair of elliptic surfaces. The resulting quotient is a two-dimensional Galois representation. By using the Lefschetz fixed-point theorem in étale cohomology and counting points on the variety over finite fields, this Gal...
متن کاملSome properties of hypergeometric series associated with mirror symmetry
We show that certain hypergeometric series used to formulate mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces, in string theory and algebraic geometry, satisfy a number of interesting properties. Many of these properties are used in separate papers to verify the BCOV prediction for the genus one Gromov-Witten invariants of a quintic threefold and more generally to compute the genus one Gromov-Witte...
متن کاملOn degree zero semistable bundles over an elliptic curve
Motivated by the study of heterotic string compactifications on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds, we present a procedure for testing semistability and identifying the decomposition type of degree zero holomorphic vector bundles over a nonsingular elliptic curve. The algorithm requires explicit knowledge of a basis of sections of an associated ‘twisted bundle’. a [email protected]
