Generalized Cartan-Kac Matrices inspired from Calabi-Yau spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
The object of this work is the systematical study of a certain type of generalized Cartan matrices associated with the Dynkin diagrams that characterize CartanLie and affine Kac-Moody algebras. These generalized matrices are associated to graphs which arise in the study and classification of Calabi-Yau spaces through Toric Geometry. We focus in the study of what should be considered the generalization of the affine exceptional series E (1) 6,7,8 Kac-Moody matrices. It has been conjectured that these generalized simply laced graphs and associated link matrices may characterize generalizations of Cartan-Lie and affine Kac-Moody algebras.

The Classification of the Simply Laced Berger Graphs from Calabi-Yau CY3 spaces
The algebraic approach to the construction of the reflexive polyhedra that yield Calabi-Yau spaces in three or more complex dimensions with K3 fibres reveals graphs that include and generalize the Dynkin diagrams associated with gauge symmetries. In this work we continue to study the structure of graphs obtained from CY3 reflexive polyhedra. The objective is to describe the “simply laced” cases...
متن کاملHunting for the New Symmetries in Calabi-Yau Jungles
It was proposed that the Calabi-Yau geometry can be intrinsically connected with some new symmetries, some new algebras. In order to do this it has been analyzed the graphs constructed from K3-fibre CYd (d ≥ 3) reflexive polyhedra. The graphs can be naturally get in the frames of Universal Calabi-Yau algebra (UCYA) and may be decode by universal way with the changing of some restrictions on the...

The elliptic genus of Calabi-Yau 3-and 4-folds, product formulae and generalized Kac-Moody algebras. ABSTRACT In this paper the elliptic genus for a general Calabi-Yau fourfold is derived. The recent work of Kawai calculating N=2 heterotic string one-loop threshold corrections with a Wilson line turned on is extended to a similar computation where K3 is replaced by a general Calabi-Yau 3-or 4-f...
متن کاملA Lecture on Kac–moody Lie Algebras of the Arithmetic Type
We name an indecomposable symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix A and the corresponding Kac–Moody Lie algebra g(A) of the arithmetic type if for any β ∈ Q with (β|β) < 0 there exist n(β) ∈ N and an imaginary root α ∈ ∆ such that n(β)β ≡ α mod Ker (.|.) on Q. Here Q is the root lattice. This generalizes ”symmetrizable hyperbolic” type of Kac and Moody. We show that generalized Cartan matrices ...

Fivebranes are non-perturbative objects in string theory that generalize two-dimensional conformal field theory and relate such diverse subjects as moduli spaces of vector bundles on surfaces, automorphic forms, elliptic genera, the geometry of Calabi-Yau threefolds, and generalized Kac-Moody algebras. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 81T30
