The Cheshire cap
A bstractA key role in black hole dynamics is played by the inner horizon; most of the entropy of a slightly nonextremal charged or rotating black hole is carried there, and the covariant entropy…
Mirror symmetry, toric branes and topological string amplitudes as polynomials
The central theme of this thesis is the extension and application of mirror symmetry of topological string theory. Mirror symmetry is an equivalence between the topological string A-model on a…
String field theory in curved spacetime and the resolution of spacelike singularities
We attempt to understand the fate of spacelike gravitational singularities in string theory via the quantum stress tensor for string matter in a fixed background. We first approximate the singularity…
Dirichlet Branes and Mirror Symmetry
Research in string theory over the last several decades has yielded a rich interaction with algebraic geometry. In 1985, the introduction of Calabi-Yau manifolds into physics as a way to compactify…
The influence of gravity upon topology changing transitions and warped flux compactifications
We investigate the dynamics of the geometric transitions associated to compactified spacetimes. By including the effects of gravity we are able to follow the evolution of collapsing cycles as they…
Hyperbolic compactification of M-theory and de Sitter quantum gravity
We present a mechanism for accelerated expansion of the universe in the generic case of negative-curvature compactifications of M-theory, with minimal ingredients. M-theory on a hyperbolic manifold…
Topology change in general relativity, and the black-hole black-string transition
In the presence of compact dimensions massive solutions of General Relativity may take one of several forms including the black-hole and the black-string, the simplest relevant background being 3+1 ×…
Gauge fields, scalars, warped geometry, and strings
We review results on several interesting phenomena in warped compactifications of M theory, as presented at Strings 2000. The behavior of gauge fields in dimensional reduction from d+1 to d…
Geometric transitions, topological strings, and generalized complex geometry
Mirror symmetry is one of the most beautiful symmetries in string theory. It helps us very effectively gain insights into non-perturbative worldsheet instanton effects. It was also shown that the…
Field theory methods in two-dimensional and heterotic string theories
This thesis has three parts. In the first, we study the Das-Jevicki collective field description of arbitrary classical solutions in the c = 1 matrix model, which are believed to describe nontrivial…
