Minimal Cycles, Black Holes and QFT's
arXiv:hep-th/9805213
Abstract
We review some aspects of minimal cycles in string compactifications and their role in constructing new critical theories in six and lower dimensions as well as in accounting for black hole entropy. (Based on a talk presented at the Salam Memorial Meeting, the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics, Fall 1997)
