Matching the heterotic string on orbifolds and their resolutions
Cabo Bizet, Nana Geraldine (2013-08-21)We study the symmetry breaking mechanism under which a 6d orbifold compactification of the 10d heterotic string turns into a smooth Calabi--Yau compactification. This process is naturally required to preserve N=1 supersymmetry ... -
On Topological String Theory with Calabi-Yau Backgrounds
Haghighat, Babak (2009-11-23)String theory represents a unifying framework for quantum field theory as well as for general relativity combining them into a theory of quantum gravity. The topological string is a subsector of the full string theory ...
