D-brane monodromies from a matrix-factorization perspective

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze Kaehler moduli space monodromies of string compactifications. This is achieved by investigating the monodromy action upon D-brane probes, which we model in the Landau-Ginzburg phase in terms of matrix factorizations. The two-dimensional cubic torus and the quintic Calabi-Yau hypersurface serve as our two prime examples.
