Duality of (0,2) String Vacua
We discuss a duality of (0,2) heterotic string vacua which implies that certain pairs of (0,2) Calabi-Yau compactifications on topologically distinct target manifolds yield identical string theories. Some complex structure moduli in one model are interpreted in the dual model as deforming the holomorphic structure of the vacuum gauge bundle (and vice versa). A better understanding of singularit...
متن کاملDuality after Supersymmetry Breaking
Starting with two supersymmetric dual theories, we imagine adding a chiral perturbation that breaks supersymmetry dynamically. At low energy we then get two theories with soft supersymmetry-breaking terms that are generated dynamically. With a canonical Kähler potential, some of the scalars of the “magnetic” theory typically have negative mass-squared, and the vector-like symmetry is broken. Si...
متن کاملClassical Geometry and Target Space Duality
A new formulation for a “restricted” type of target space duality in classical two dimensional nonlinear sigma models is presented. The main idea is summarized by the analogy: euclidean geometry is to riemannian geometry as toroidal target space duality is to “restricted” target space duality. The target space is not required to possess symmetry. These lectures only discuss the local theory. Th...
متن کاملCosmological Quantum String Vacua and String-String Duality
Implications of string-string dualities to cosmological string vacua are discussed. Cosmological vacua of classical string theories comprise of disjoint classses mapped one another by scale-factor T-duality. Each classes are, however, afflicted with initial/final cosmological singularities. It is argued that quantum string theories and string-string dualities dramatically resolve these cosmolog...
