Cohomology of line bundles: Applications
@article{Blumenhagen2012CohomologyOL, title={Cohomology of line bundles: Applications}, author={Ralph Blumenhagen and Benjamin Jurke and Thorsten Rahn and Helmut Roschy}, journal={Journal of Mathematical Physics}, year={2012}, volume={53}, pages={012302} }
Massless modes of both heterotic and Type II string compactifications on compact manifolds are determined by vector bundle valued cohomology classes. Various applications of our recent algorithm for the computation of line bundle valued cohomology classes over toric varieties are presented. For the heterotic string, the prime examples are so-called monad constructions on Calabi-Yau manifolds. In the context of Type II orientifolds, one often needs to compute cohomology for line bundles on…
