Moduli stabilization in type II Calabi-Yau compactifications at finite temperature

We consider the type II superstring compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds, at finite temperature. The latter is implemented at the string level by a free action on the Euclidean time circle. We show…

Enhanced Gauge Symmetry and Braid Group Actions

Abstract: Enhanced gauge symmetry appears in Type II string theory (as well as F- and M-theory) compactified on Calabi–Yau manifolds containing exceptional divisors meeting in Dynkin configurations.…

Communications in Mathematical Physics Enhanced Gauge Symmetry and Braid Group Actions

Enhanced gauge symmetry appears in Type II string theory (as well as Fand M-theory) compactified on Calabi–Yau manifolds containing exceptional divisors meeting in Dynkin configurations. It is shown…

Gauged supergravity and singular Calabi-Yau manifolds

Compactifications of M-theory on singular manifolds contain additional charged massless states descending from M-branes wrapped on vanishing cycles. We construct the first explicit example of a…

Massive Abelian gauge symmetries and fluxes in F-theory

A bstractF-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau fourfold naturally describes non- Abelian gauge symmetries through the singularity structure of the elliptic fibration. In contrast Abelian symmetries…

Moduli stabilisation in early superstring cosmology

We study the cosmological evolution induced by the free energy of a string gas at finite temperature. We first consider the maximally supersymmetric heterotic string in the weak coupling regime in…

Non-perturbative gauge groups and local mirror symmetry

We analyze D-brane states and their central charges on the resolution of 2/n by using local mirror symmetry. There is a point in the moduli space where all n(n−1)/2 branches of the principal…
