Within the context of the E8 ×E8 heterotic superstring compactified on a smooth CalabiYau threefold with an SU(4) gauge instanton… (More)

We show the existence of realistic N = 1 supersymmetric vacua whose observable sector has exactly the matter content of the MSSM… (More)

We construct a compactification of the heterotic string on an orbifold T 6/Z6 leading to the standard model spectrum plus vector… (More)

This paper concerns open, closed, and open-closed topological conformal field theories. We show that the category of open… (More)

It was recently shown by Witten on the basis of several examples that the topological B-model whose target space is a Calabi-Yau… (More)

We study the number of flux vacua for type IIB string theory on an orientifold of the Calabi-Yau expressed as a hypersurface in… (More)

We discuss some mathematical conjectures which have come out of the study of Dirichlet branes in superstring theory, focusing on… (More)

Recently, Strominger, Yau and Zaslow [17] proposed an interpretation of mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau 3-folds M involving… (More)

r n Nonperturbative aspects of string theory have been st ied vigorously recently. These have been in both the fo of solitonic… (More)

We investigate the compactification of D=11 supergravity to D=5,4,3, on compact manifolds of holonomy SU(3) (Calabi-Yau), G 2… (More)
