Toroidal Orbifolds à la Vafa-Witten
نویسنده
چکیده
We classify orbifolds obtained by taking the quotient of a three torus by Abelian extensions of Z/n×Z/n automorphisms, where each torus has a multiplicative Z/n action (n ∈ {3, 4, 6}). This ’completes’ the classification of orbifolds of the above type initiated by Donagi and Faraggi ([4]) and, Donagi and Wendland ([5]).

On the First Vafa-witten Bound for Two-dimensional Tori
— In this paper we explicitly compute the first Vafa-Witten bound for a two-dimensional torus, namely the best uniform upper bound for the first eigenvalue of the family of twisted (by arbitrary vector potentials) Dirac operators on a flat two-torus. Starting with an arbitrary flat metric we give either an exact answer or a precise algorithm for producing an answer. As a by-product we develop a...
متن کاملA Homotopy Theory of Orbispaces
An orbifold is a singular space which is locally modeled on the quotient of a smooth manifold by a smooth action of a finite group. It appears naturally in geometry and topology when group actions on manifolds are involved and the stabilizer of each fixed point is finite. The concept of an orbifold was first introduced by Satake under the name “V -manifold” in a paper where he also extended the...
متن کاملResolved Toroidal Orbifolds and their Orientifolds
We discuss the resolution of toroidal orbifolds. For the resulting smooth Calabi–Yau manifolds, we calculate the intersection ring and determine the divisor topologies. In a next step, the orientifold quotients are constructed.
متن کاملIntroduction to Orbifolds
Orbifolds lie at the intersection of many different areas of mathematics, including algebraic and differential geometry, topology, algebra and string theory. Orbifolds were first introduced into topology and differential geometry by Satake [6], who called them V-manifolds. Satake described them as topological spaces generalizing smooth manifolds and generalized concepts such as de Rham cohomolo...
متن کاملThe Gopakumar-vafa Formula for Symplectic Manifolds
The Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture predicts that the Gromov-Witten invariants of a CalabiYau 3-fold can be canonically expressed in terms of integer invariants called BPS numbers. Using the methods of symplectic Gromov-Witten theory, we prove that the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture holds for any symplectic Calabi-Yau 6-manifold, and hence for Calabi-Yau 3-folds. The results extend to all symplectic 6-man...
