Black Holes and Calabi-Yau Threefolds
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute the microscopic entropy of certain 4 and 5 dimensional extermal black holes which arise for compactification of M-theory and type IIA on Calabi-Yau 3-folds. The results agree with macroscopic predictions, including some subleading terms. The macroscopic entropy in the 5 dimensional case predicts a surprising growth in the cohomology of moduli space of holomorphic curves in Calabi-Yau threefolds which we verify in the case of elliptic threefolds.

D-instantons and Black Holes in N=2, D=4 Supergravity
We discuss T-duality between the solutions of type II A versus type II B superstrings compactiied on Calabi-Yau threefolds. Within the context of N = 2, D = 4 supergravity eeective Lagrangian, the T-duality transformation is equivalently described by the c-map, which transforms the IIA black hole solutions into the IIB D-instanton solutions. We construct via this mapping a broad class of D-inst...
متن کاملPrimitive Calabi-yau Threefolds
A Calabi-Yau threefold is a complex projective threefold X (possibly with some suitable class of singularities, say terminal or canonical) with ω X ∼ = O X and h 1 (O X) = h 2 (O X) = 0. One of the fundamental gaps in the classification of algebraic threefolds is the lack of understanding of Calabi-Yau threefolds. Here I will try to set forth a program to bring the morass of thousands of exampl...
متن کاملAlgebraic topology of Calabi–Yau threefolds in toric varieties
One of the most fruitful sources of Calabi–Yau threefolds is hypersurfaces, or more generally complete intersections, in toric varieties. This is especially true since there is a proposal for the mirror of any such Calabi–Yau threefold. Usually the toric varieties associated to convex lattice polytopes are singular, causing the Calabi–Yau threefolds in them also to be singular, so that to get s...
متن کاملMirror Fermat Calabi-Yau Threefolds and Landau-Ginzburg Black Hole Attractors
We study black hole attractor equations for one-(complex structure)modulus Calabi-Yau spaces which are the mirror dual of Fermat Calabi-Yau threefolds (CY3s). When exploring non-degenerate solutions near the Landau-Ginzburg point of the moduli space of such 4-dimensional compactifications, we always find two species of extremal black hole attractors, depending on the choice of the Sp (4,Z) symp...
متن کاملOn a Class of Non-simply Connected Calabi-yau Threefolds
We construct and obtain a detailed classification for a class of non-simply connected Calabi-Yau threefolds which are of potential interest for a wide range of problems in string phenomenology. These threefolds arise as quotients of Schoen’s Calabi-Yau threefolds, which are fiber products over P of two rational elliptic surfaces. The quotient is by a freely acting finite abelian group preservin...
