Some Three Generation (0,2) Calabi-Yau Models
نویسنده
چکیده
It has recently been realized that a large class of Calabi-Yau models in which the VEV of the gauge connection is not set equal to the spin connection of the Calabi-Yau manifold are valid classical solutions of string theory. We provide some examples of three generation models based on such generalized Calabi-Yau compactifications, including models with observable gauge group SU (3) × SU (2) × U (1).

Geometry of (0,2) Landau-Ginzburg Orbifolds
Several aspects of (0,2) Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds are investigated. Especially the elliptic genera are computed in general and, for a class of models recently invented by Distler and Kachru, they are compared with the ones from (0,2) sigma models. Our formalism gives an easy way to calculate the generation numbers for lots of Distler-Kachru models even if they are based on singular Calabi-Yau ...
متن کامل(0,2) Landau-ginzburg Theory ⋆
A large class of (0,2) Calabi-Yau σ-models and Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds are shown to arise as different “phases” of supersymmetric gauge theories. We find a phenomenon in the Landau-Ginzburg phase which may enable one to understand which Calabi-Yau σ-models evade destabilization by worldsheet instantons. Examples of (0,2) LandauGinzburg vacua are analyzed in detail, and several novel features ...
متن کاملNotes on Correlation Functions in ( 0 , 2 ) Theories
In this short note we shall review some recent work [KS] on certain correlation function calculations in perturbative heterotic strings, generalizing the rational curve counting of the A model to analogues of the 27 3 coupling. Part of the motivation for this work comes from attempts to understand (0,2) mirror symmetry. Recall that ordinary mirror symmetry relates pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds....
متن کاملDuality of (0,2) String Vacua
We discuss a duality of (0,2) heterotic string vacua which implies that certain pairs of (0,2) Calabi-Yau compactifications on topologically distinct target manifolds yield identical string theories. Some complex structure moduli in one model are interpreted in the dual model as deforming the holomorphic structure of the vacuum gauge bundle (and vice versa). A better understanding of singularit...
متن کاملToric Geometry and F-Theory/Heterotic Duality in Four Dimensions
We study, as hypersurfaces in toric varieties, elliptic Calabi–Yau fourfolds for F-theory compactifications dual to E8 × E8 heterotic strings compactified to four dimensions on elliptic Calabi–Yau threefolds with some choice of vector bundle. We describe how to read off the vector bundle data for the heterotic compactification from the toric data of the fourfold. This map allows us to construct...
