Beyond Twisted Tori

چکیده
Exploiting the fact that Kaluza–Klein monopoles and the associated generalized orbifold planes are sources for geometrical fluxes, ω, we show that the standard constraint ω ω = 0, valid for superstring compactifications on twisted tori, can be consistently relaxed. This leads to novel possibilities for constructing superstring models with fluxes and localized sources, as well as for stabilizing moduli. This also explains the ten-dimensional origin of a family of N = 4 gauged supergravities, whose interpretation in type-IIA orientifold compactifications was lacking.

Heterotic Orbifold Models and Yukawa Couplings
We classify compactification lattices for supersymmetric Z2×Z2 orbifolds. These lattices include factorisable as well as non-factorisable six-tori. Different models lead to different numbers of fixed points/tori. A lower bound on the number of fixed tori per twisted sector is given by four, whereas an upper bound consists of 16 fixed tori per twisted sector. Thus, these models have a variety of...
متن کاملTwisted Torus Topologies for Enhanced Interconnection Networks1
Many current parallel computers are built around a torus interconnection network. Machines from Cray, HP and IBM, among others, make use of this topology. In terms of topological advantages, square (2D) or cubic (3D) tori would be the topologies of choice. However, for different practical reasons, 2D and 3D tori with different number of nodes per dimension have been used. These mixed-radix topo...
متن کاملStrong Morita Equivalence of Higher-dimensional Noncommutative Tori. Ii
We show that two C∗-algebraic noncommutative tori are strongly Morita equivalent if and only if they have isomorphic ordered K0-groups and centers, extending N. C. Phillips’s result in the case that the algebras are simple. This is also generalized to the twisted group C∗-algebras of arbitrary finitely generated abelian groups.
متن کاملCosmology with twisted tori
We consider the cosmological role of the scalar fields generated by the compactification of 11dimensional Einstein gravity on a 7-dimensional elliptic twisted torus, which has the attractive features of giving rise to a positive semidefinite potential, and partially fixing the moduli. This compactification is therefore relevant for low-energy M-theory, 11-dimensional supergravity. We find that ...
متن کاملTask mapping in rectangular twisted tori
Twisted torus topologies have been proposed as an alternative to toroidal rectangular networks, improving distance parameters and providing network symmetry. However, twisting is apparently less amenable to task mapping algorithms of real life applications. In this paper we make an analytical study of different mapping and concentration techniques on 2D twisted tori that try to compensate for t...
