Superpotentials from Singular Divisors
Naomi Gendler, Manki Kim, Liam McAllister +2
We study Euclidean D3-branes wrapping divisors in Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory. Witten's counting of fermion zero modes in terms of the co…
Minimal Surfaces and Weak Gravity
Mehmet Demirtas, Cody Long, Liam McAllister +1
We show that the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) implies a nontrivial upper bound on the volumes of the minimal-volume cycles in certain homology classes that admit no calibrated rep…
The Hodge Numbers of Divisors of Calabi-Yau Threefold Hypersurfaces
Andreas P. Braun, Cody Long, Liam McAllister +2
We prove a formula for the Hodge numbers of square-free divisors of Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces in toric varieties. Euclidean branes wrapping divisors affect the vacuum stru…
The Geometry of Generations
Yang-Hui He, Vishnu Jejjala, Cyril Matti +2
We present an intriguing and precise interplay between algebraic geometry and the phenomenology of generations of particles. Using the electroweak sector of the MSSM as a testing g…
