Kähler Stabilized , Modular Invariant Heterotic String Models
We review the theory and phenomenology of effective supergravity theories based on orbifold compactifications of the weakly-coupled heterotic string. In particular, we consider theories in which the four-dimensional theory displays target space modular invariance and where the dilatonic mode undergoes Kähler stabilization. A self-contained exposition of effective Lagrangian approaches to gaugin...
متن کاملExtremal Transitions in Heterotic String Theory
In this paper we study extremal transitions between heterotic string compactifications, i.e., transitions between pairs (M,V ) where M is a Calabi-Yau manifold and V a gauge bundle. Bundle transitions are described using language recently espoused by Friedman, Morgan, Witten. In addition, partly as a check on our methods, we also study how small instantons are described in the same language, an...
متن کاملKähler (& Hyper-kähler) Manifolds
These notes are based on two talks given at the Arithmetic & Algebraic Geometry Seminar of the Korteweg-de Vriesinstituut for mathematics of the Universiteit van Amsterdam. They are intended to give a short introduction to the theory of Kähler manifolds, with a slight focus of applicability to the subject of K3 surfaces. However, they also include other interesting results not related to K3 sur...
متن کاملHeterotic Phase Transitions and Singularities of the Gauge Dyonic String
Heterotic strings on R6 ×K3 generically appear to undergo some interesting new phase transition at that value of the string coupling for which the one of the six-dimensional gauge field kinetic energies changes sign. An exception is the E8 ×E8 string with equal instanton numbers in the two E8’s, which admits a heterotic/heterotic self-duality. In this paper, we generalize the dyonic string solu...
متن کاملChiral matter and transitions in heterotic string models
In the framework of N = 1 supersymmetric string models given by the heterotic string on an elliptic Calabi-Yau π : Z → B together with a SU(n) bundle we compute the chiral matter content of the massless spectrum. For this purpose the net generation number, i.e. half the third Chern class, is computed from data related to the heterotic vector bundle in the spectral cover description; a non-techn...
