New string vacua from twistor spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We find a new family of AdS4 vacua in IIA string theory. The internal space is topologically either the complex projective space CP or the “flag manifold” SU(3)/(U(1)×U(1)), but the metric is in general neither Einstein nor Kähler. All known moduli are stabilized by fluxes, without using quantum effects or orientifold planes. The analysis is completely ten–dimensional and does not rely on assumptions about Kaluza–Klein reduction. ar X iv :0 71 2. 13 96 v1 [ he pth ] 1 0 D ec 2 00 7

Spacetime foam in twistor string theory
We show how a Kähler spacetime foam in four dimensional conformal (super)gravity may be mapped to twistor spaces carrying the D1 brane charge of the B model topological string theory. The spacetime foam is obtained by blowing up an arbitrary number of points in C and can be interpreted as a sum over gravitational instantons. Some twistor spaces for blowups of C are known explicitly. In these ca...
متن کاملClassical part of the twistor story
Twistors Grassmannian formalism has made a breakthrough in N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theories and the Yangian symmetry suggests that much more than mere technical breakthrough is in question. Twistors seem to be tailor made for TGD but it seems that the generalization of twistor structure to that for 8-D imbedding space H = M × CP2 is necessary. M (and S as its Euclidian counterpart) and CP2 a...
متن کاملBlack Hole Condensation and the Unification of String Vacua
It is argued that black hole condensation can occur at conifold singularities in the moduli space of type II Calabi–Yau string vacua. The condensate signals a smooth transition to a new Calabi–Yau space with different Euler characteristic and Hodge numbers. In this manner string theory unifies the moduli spaces of many or possibly all Calabi–Yau vacua. Elementary string states and black holes a...
متن کاملExplicit Construction of New Moishezon Twistor Spaces, Ii
In Part I, we constructed a series of new Moishezon twistor spaces which is a kind of variant of the famous LeBrun twistor spaces. In this paper we explicitly give projective models of another series of Moishezon twistor spaces on nCP for arbitrary n ≥ 3, which can be regarded as a generalization of the twistor spaces of a ‘double solid type’ on 3CP studied by Kreußler, Kurke, Poon and the auth...
متن کاملTwistor theory at fifty: from contour integrals to twistor strings.
We review aspects of twistor theory, its aims and achievements spanning the last five decades. In the twistor approach, space-time is secondary with events being derived objects that correspond to compact holomorphic curves in a complex threefold-the twistor space. After giving an elementary construction of this space, we demonstrate how solutions to linear and nonlinear equations of mathematic...
