Moduli Stabilization in Non-Geometric Backgrounds

Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker, Cumrun Vafa +1

Type II orientifolds based on Landau-Ginzburg models are used to describe moduli stabilization for flux compactifications of type II theories from the world-sheet CFT point of view…

Quantum Field Theory on Curved Backgrounds, I. The Euclidean Functional Integral

Arthur Jaffe, Gordon Ritter

We give a mathematical construction of Euclidean quantum field theory on certain curved backgrounds. We focus on generalizing Osterwalder-Schrader quantization, as these methods ha…

Towards the Massless Spectrum of Non-Kahler Heterotic Compactifications

Michelle Cyrier, Joshua M. Lapan

Fu and Yau constructed the first smooth family of gauge bundles over a class of non-Kahler, complex 3-folds that are solutions to Strominger's system, the heterotic supersymmetry c…

Strong coupling from the Hubbard model

Joseph A. Minahan

It was recently observed that the one dimensional half-filled Hubbard model reproduces the known part of the perturbative spectrum of planar N=4 super Yang-Mills in the SU(2) secto…

Anomaly Cancellation and Smooth Non-Kahler Solutions in Heterotic String Theory

Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker, Ji-Xiang Fu +2

We show that six-dimensional backgrounds that are T^2 bundle over a Calabi-Yau two-fold base are consistent smooth solutions of heterotic flux compactifications. We emphasize the i…
