Considerations of One-Modulus Calabi-Yau Compactifications: Picard-Fuchs Equations, Kähler Potentials and Mirror Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider Calabi-Yau compactifications with one Kähler modulus. Following the method of Candelas et al. we use the mirror hypothesis to solve the quantum theory exactly in dependence of this modulus by performing the calculation for the corresponding complex structure deformation on the mirror manifold. Here the information is accessible by techniques of classical geometry. It is encoded in the Picard-Fuchs differential equation which has to be supplemented by requirements on the global properties of its solutions. april/92 ∗ email:[email protected] † Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. ∗∗ email: BE01@DKAUNI2

Mirror Symmetry, Mirror Map and Applications to Calabi-Yau Hypersurfaces
Mirror Symmetry, Picard-Fuchs equations and instanton corrected Yukawa couplings are discussed within the framework of toric geometry. It allows to establish mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau spaces for which the mirror manifold had been unavailable in previous constructions. Mirror maps and Yukawa couplings are explicitly given for several examples with two and three moduli.
متن کاملTowards Open String Mirror Symmetry for One–Parameter Calabi–Yau Hypersurfaces
This work is concerned with branes and differential equations for one–parameter Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. For a certain class of B–branes we derive the inhomogeneous Picard–Fuchs equations satisfied by brane superpotential. In this way we arrive at a prediction for the real BPS invariants for holomorphic maps of worldsheets with low Euler characteristics, ending on...
متن کاملGkz Hypergeometric Systems and Applications to Mirror Symmetry
Mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds is one of the most beautiful aspects of string theory. It has been applied with great success to do non-perturbative calculation of quantum cohomology rings1−10. More recently, new ideas have been developed to apply mirror symmetry to study the moduli space of the type II string vacua compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold. Some of the recent work on verif...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry of Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Flat Coordinates
We study mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds within the framework of the Gauss-Manin system. Applying the flat coordinates to the Gauss-Manin system for the periods, we derive differential equations for the mirror map in addition to the ordinary Picard-Fuchs equations for the periods. These equations are obtained for a class of one-parameter models and a two-parameter model of Fermat type C...

∗∗ Local and global properties of the moduli space of Calabi–Yau type compactifications determine the low energy parameters of the string effective action. We show that the moduli space geometry is entirely encoded in the Picard–Fuchs equations for the periods of the Calabi– Yau H–cohomology. ∗ Supported in part by DOE grants DE-AC0381-ER500050, DOE-AT03-88ER40384, task E and by MURST.
