Superconformal algebras for the Schoen Calabi-Yau manifold

Abstract

We revisit the proposal of arXiv:2104.05716 for the worldsheet description of string theory compactifications on special holonomy manifolds obtained via connected sums: the geometric construction corresponds to a diamond of inclusions of worldsheet algebras. We present new evidence for the proposal by considering compactifications on the Schoen Calabi-Yau manifold.
