1 Heterotic String Vacua from Mirror Symmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
We review a systematic construction of N = 1 supersymmetric heterotic string vacua using mirror symmetry. The method provides a large class of explicit solutions for stable, holomorphic vector bundles on Calabi–Yau n-folds Z n in terms of toric geometry. Phenomenologically interesting compactifications as well as non-perturbative dynamics of the heterotic string are discussed within this framework.

متن کاملThe Construction of Mirror Symmetry
The construction of mirror symmetry in the heterotic string is reviewed in the context of Calabi– Yau and Landau–Ginzburg compactifications. This framework has the virtue of providing a large subspace of the configuration space of the heterotic string, probing its structure far beyond the present reaches of solvable models. The construction proceeds in two stages: First all singularities/catast...
متن کاملHeterotic String/F-theory Duality from Mirror Symmetry
We use local mirror symmetry in type IIA string compactifications on Calabi– Yau n + 1 folds Xn+1 to construct vector bundles on (possibly singular) elliptically fibered Calabi–Yau n-folds Zn. The interpretation of these data as valid classical solutions of the heterotic string compactified on Zn proves Ftheory/heterotic duality at the classical level. Toric geometry is used to establish a syst...
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 کاملBaselineskip Recent Efforts in the Computation of String Couplings * †
We review recent advances towards the computation of string couplings. Duality symmetry, mirror symmetry, Picard-Fuchs equations, etc. are some of the tools. One of the main topics of this conference was the matrix model approach to noncritical strings. There the outstanding open problem is to go above c = 1. Here we want to review some recent progress in the ‘old-fashioned’ formulation of crit...
