Gromov-Witten/Hilbert versus AdS3/CFT2 Correspondence
Wolfgang Lerche
We consider the boundary dual of AdS3xS3xK3 for NS5-flux Q5=1, which is described by a sigma model with target space given by the d-fold symmetric product of K3. Building on result…
Physics of Infinite Complex Structure Limits in eight Dimensions
Seung-Joo Lee, Wolfgang Lerche, Timo Weigand
We investigate infinite distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of F-theory compactified on K3 to eight dimensions. While this is among the simplest possible arenas t…
Holomorphic Anomalies, Fourfolds and Fluxes
Seung-Joo Lee, Wolfgang Lerche, Guglielmo Lockhart +1
We investigate holomorphic anomalies of partition functions underlying string compactifications on Calabi-Yau fourfolds with background fluxes. For elliptic fourfolds the partition…
Quasi-Jacobi Forms, Elliptic Genera and Strings in Four Dimensions
Seung-Joo Lee, Wolfgang Lerche, Guglielmo Lockhart +1
We investigate the interplay between the enumerative geometry of Calabi-Yau fourfolds with fluxes and the modularity of elliptic genera in four-dimensional string theories. We argu…
Emergent Strings from Infinite Distance Limits
Seung-Joo Lee, Wolfgang Lerche, Timo Weigand
As a refinement of the Swampland Distance Conjecture, we propose that a quantum gravitational theory in an infinite distance limit of its moduli space either decompactifies, or red…
Emergent Strings, Duality and Weak Coupling Limits for Two-Form Fields
Seung-Joo Lee, Wolfgang Lerche, Timo Weigand
We systematically analyse weak coupling limits for 2-form tensor fields in the presence of gravity. Such limits are significant for testing various versions of the Weak Gravity and…
