چکیده
We study the geometry of M5-branes wrapping a 2-cycle which is Special Lagrangian with respect to a specific complex structure in a CalabiYau two-fold. Using methods recently applied to the three-fold case, we are again able find a characterization of the geometry, in terms of a nonintegrable almost complex structure and a (2,0) form. This time, however, due to the hyper-Kähler nature of the underlying 2-fold we also have the freedom of choosing a different almost complex structure with respect to which the wrapped 2-cycle is holomorphic. We show that this latter almost complex structure is integrable. We then relate our geometry to previously found geometries of M5-branes wrapping holomophic cycles and go further to prove some previously unknown results for M5-branes on holomorphic cycles.

We consider type IIA string theory on a Calabi-Yau 2-fold with D6branes wrapping 2-cycles in the 2-fold. We find a complete set of conditions on the supergravity solution for any given wrapped brane configuration in terms of SU(2) structures. We reduce the problem of finding a supergravity solution for the wrapped branes to finding a harmonic function on R×CY2. We then lift this solution to 11-...

In the first lecture, we derive the five–dimensional effective action of strongly coupled het-erotic string theory for the complete (1, 1) sector of the theory by performing a reduction, on a Calabi–Yau three–fold, of M–theory on S 1 /Z 2. The correct effective theory is a gauged version of five–dimensional N = 1 supergravity coupled to Abelian vector multiplets, the universal hy-permultiplet a...

In the context of string theory we argue that higher dimensional Dp-branes unwind and evaporate so that we are left with D3-branes embedded in a (9+1)-dimensional bulk. One of these D3-branes plays the rôle of our Universe. Within this picture, the evaporation of the higher dimensional Dp-branes provides the entropy of our Universe.

We discuss the possibility of the extension of the duality between the webs of heterotic string and the type IIA string to Calabi-Yau three-folds with another K3 fiber by comparing the dual polyhedron of Calabi-Yau three-folds given by Candelas, Perevalov and Rajesh.
