  1. 1. Gromov-Witten invariants via localization techniques

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Noah Dizep; [2023]
    Keywords : Gromov-Witten invariants; enumerative geometry; string theory;

    Abstract : Gromov-Witten invariants play a crucial role in symplectic- and enumerative Geometry as well as topological String Theory. Essentially, theseinvariants are a count of (pseudo)holomorphic curves of a given genus,going through n-marked points on a symplectic manifold. READ MORE

  4. 3. Model building on gCICYs

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Davide Passaro; [2020]
    Keywords : Mathematical Physics; Geometry; Calabi Yau; Complete Intersection Calabi Yau; Generalized Complete Intersection Calabi Yau;

    Abstract : Prompted by the success of heterotic line bundle model building on Complete Intersection Calabi Yau (CICY) manifolds and the new developments regarding a generalization thereof, I analyze the possibility of model building on generalized CICY (gCICY) manifolds.  Ultimately this is realized on two examples of gCICYs, one of which topologically equivalent to a CICY and one inequivalent to any previously studied examples.

  5. 4. Finiteness of Complete Intersection Calabi Yau Threefolds

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Davide Passaro; [2019]
    Keywords : Mathematical Physics; Geometry; Calabi Yau; Complete Intersection Calabi Yau;

    Abstract : Of many modern constructions in geometry Calabi Yau manifolds hold special relevance in theoretical physics. These manifolds naturally arise from the study of compactification of certain string theories. READ MORE

  6. 5. Embedding inflation in string theory

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Kevin Björk; [2019]
    Keywords : inflation; string theory; racetrack; uplift; slow-roll; Kähler; moduli; modulus; manifold; Calabi-Yau;

    Abstract : We introduce slow-roll inflation in string theory on both a conceptual level and a detailed one. In order to do this we first briefly review important concepts of inflation and string theory. READ MORE
