On Orbifolds with Discrete Torsion
arXiv:hep-th/9409188 · doi:10.1016/0393-0440(94)00048-9
Abstract
We consider the interpretation in classical geometry of conformal field theories constructed from orbifolds with discrete torsion. In examples we can analyze, these spacetimes contain ``stringy regions'' that from a classical point of view are singularities that are to be neither resolved nor blown up. Some of these models also give particularly simple and clear examples of mirror symmetry.
