Computing K3 and Cy N-fold Metrics

چکیده
The derivative expnsion in the context of IIB string scattering compactified on non-trivial K3 and other Calabi-Yau manifolds is formulated. The scattering data in terms of automorphic functions can be inverted to find the these metrics. The solutions are parameterized by the moduli information, and the metrics may be found to any desired accuracy in derivatives. Metric information to low orders in derivatives allows for a counting of curves inside the manifold; in addition, the coefficients of these exponential terms via D-brane wrappings are polynomials that may admit an invariant interpretation in cohomology. An interesting case pertaining to M-theory compactifications is the collection of seven-dimensional G 2 manifolds; they can also be obtained when the moduli space degenerates into cases, such as a toroidal one or other limit in which modular functions on the space are known. 1 1 This work was written two years ago; the recipe without the explicit form of the scattering and metrics is given.

In the study of moduli of elliptic curves the Dedekind eta function η = q ∞ ∏ n=1 (1− q) , where q = e plays a very important role. We will point out the three main properties of η. 1. It is well known fact that η is an automorphic form which vanishes at the cusp. In fact η is the discriminant of the elliptic curve. 2. The Kronecker limit formula gives the explicit relations between the regular...
متن کاملOn K3 Correspondences
We consider relationships between families of K3 surfaces, in the context of string theory. An important ingredient of string theory also of interest in algebraic geometry is T-duality. Donagi and Pantev [DP] have extended the original duality on genus one fibred K3 surfaces with a section to the case of any genus one fibration, via a Fourier-Mukai transform. We investigate possibilities of ext...

Let C denote the claw K1,3, N the net (a graph obtained from a K3 by attaching a disjoint edge to each vertex of the K3), W the wounded (a graph obtained from a K3 by attaching an edge to one vertex and a disjoint path P3 to a second vertex), and Zi the graph consisting of a K3 with a path of length i attached to one vertex. For k a fixed positive integer and n a sufficiently large integer, the...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Black Hole and Singularities of CY Manifolds
We study the degenerating limits of superconformal theories for compactifications on singular K3 and Calabi-Yau threefolds. We find that in both cases the degeneration involves creating an Euclidean two-dimensional black hole coupled weakly to the rest of the system. Moreover we find that the conformal theory of An singularities of K3 are the same as that of the symmetric fivebrane. We also fin...
متن کاملGeometric Aspects of Mirror Symmetry (with SYZ for Rigid CY manifolds)
In this article we discuss the geometry of moduli spaces of (1) flat bundles over special Lagrangian submanifolds and (2) deformed HermitianYang-Mills bundles over complex submanifolds in Calabi-Yau manifolds. These moduli spaces reflect the geometry of the Calabi-Yau itself like a mirror. Strominger, Yau and Zaslow conjecture that the mirror CalabiYau manifold is such a moduli space and they a...
