Non-compact Calabi–Yau Manifolds and Localized Gravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study localization of gravity in flat space in superstring theory. We find that an induced Einstein-Hilbert term can be generated only in four dimensions, when the bulk is a non-compact Calabi-Yau threefold with non-vanishing Euler number. The origin of this term is traced to R couplings in ten dimensions. Moreover, its size can be made much larger than the ten-dimensional gravitational Planck scale by tuning the string coupling to be very small or the Euler number to be very large. We also study the width of the localization and discuss the problems for constructing realistic string models with no compact extra dimensions. † On leave of absence from CPHT École Polytechnique 2 .

Gauge Theoretical Construction of Non-compact Calabi-Yau Manifolds
We construct the non-compact Calabi-Yau manifolds interpreted as the complex line bundles over the Hermitian symmetric spaces. These manifolds are the various generalizations of the complex line bundle over CP. Imposing an F-term constraint on the line bundle over CP, we obtain the line bundle over the complex quadric surface Q. On the other hand, when we promote the U(1) gauge symmetry in CP t...
متن کاملHolomorphic parabolic geometries and Calabi-Yau manifolds
We prove that the only complex parabolic geometries on Calabi–Yau manifolds are the homogeneous geometries on complex tori. We also classify the complex parabolic geometries on homogeneous compact Kähler manifolds.
متن کاملSimply Connected Symplectic Calabi-yau 6-manifolds
In this article, we construct simply connected symplectic Calabi-Yau 6-manifold by applying Gompf’s symplectic fiber sum operation along T. Using our method, we also construct symplectic nonKähler Calabi-Yau 6-manifolds with fundamental group Z. We also produce the first examples of simply connected symplectic Calabi-Yau and non-Calabi-Yau 6-manifolds via coisotropic Luttinger surgery on non si...
متن کاملSpecial Lagrangian Tori on a Borcea-voisin Threefold
Borcea-Voisin threefolds are Calabi-Yau manifolds. They are constructed by Borcea ([B]) and Voisin ([V]) in the construction of mirror manifolds. In [SYZ], Strominger, Yau and Zaslow propose a geometric construction of mirror manifolds using special Lagrangian tori (called SYZ-construction below). Using degenerate Calabi-Yau metrics Gross and Wilson show that SYZ-construction works for any Borc...

Calabi–Yau m-folds (M,J, ω,Ω) are compact complex manifolds (M,J) of complex dimension m, equipped with a Ricci-flat Kähler metric g with Kähler form ω, and a holomorphic (m, 0)-form Ω of constant length |Ω| = 2. Using Algebraic Geometry and Yau’s solution of the Calabi Conjecture, one can construct them in huge numbers. String Theorists (a species of theoretical physicist) are very interested ...
