Small cosmological constants in string theory

M Demirtas, M Kim, L McAllister, J Moritz… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We construct supersymmetric AdS 4 vacua of type IIB string theory in
compactifications on orientifolds of Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces. We first find explicit …

String theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds

B Greene - arXiv preprint hep-th/9702155, 1997 - arxiv.org
These lectures are devoted to introducing some of the basic features of quantum geometry
that have been emerging from compactified string theory over the last couple of years. The …

Mirror symmetry, mirror map and applications to complete intersection Calabi-Yau spaces

S Hosono, A Klemm, S Theisen, ST Yau - Nuclear Physics B, 1995 - Elsevier
We extend the discussion of mirror symmetry, Picard-Fuchs equations, instanton corrected
Yukawa couplings and the topological one-loop partition function to the case of complete …

On Calabi-Yau complete intersections in toric varieties

VV Batyrev, LA Borisov - Higher-dimensional complex varieties …, 1996 - degruyter.com
We investigate Hodge-theoretic properties of Calabi-Yau complete intersections V of r semi-
ample divisors in^-dimensional toric Fano varieties having at most Gorenstein singularities …

Summing the instantons: Quantum cohomology and mirror symmetry in toric varieties

DR Morrison, MR Plesser - Nuclear Physics B, 1995 - Elsevier
We use the gauged linear sigma model introduced by Witten to calculate instanton
expansions for correlation functions in topological sigma models with target space a toric …

Stringy Hodge numbers of varieties with Gorenstein canonical singularities

VV Batyrev - arXiv preprint alg-geom/9711008, 1997 - arxiv.org
We introduce the notion of stringy E-function for an arbitrary normal irreducible algebraic
variety X with at worst log-terminal singularities. We prove some basic properties of stringy E …

Strong McKay correspondence, string-theoretic Hodge numbers and mirror symmetry

VV Batyrev, DI Dais - Topology, 1996 - Elsevier
We propose a new higher dimensional version of the McKay correspondence which enables
us to understand the “Hodge numbers” assigned to singular Gorenstein varieties by …

Mirror manifolds in higher dimension

BR Greene, DR Morrison, MR Plesser - Communications in mathematical …, 1995 - Springer
We describe mirror manifolds in dimensions different from the familiar case of complex
threefolds. We isolate certain simplifying features present only in dimension three, and …
