Machine Learning Free Quotients of CICYs

Wei Cui, Xin Gao, Mohsen Karkheiran +1

Free quotients of Calabi-Yau manifolds play an important role in string compactification. In this paper, we explore machine learning techniques, such as fully connected neural netw…

-fibrations in F-theory and String Dualities

Lara B. Anderson, James Gray, Mohsen Karkheiran +2

In this work we study F-theory compactifications on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau n-folds which have -fibered base manifolds. Such geometries, which we study in bot…

Yukawa Textures From Singular Spectral Data

Mohsen Karkheiran

The Yukawa textures of effective heterotic models are studied by using singular spectral data. One advantage of this approach is that it is possible to dissect the cohomologies of…

Heterotic Complex Structure Moduli Stabilization for Elliptically Fibered Calabi-Yau Manifolds

Wei Cui, Mohsen Karkheiran

Complex structure moduli of a Calabi-Yau threefold in supersymmetric heterotic compactifications can be stabilized by holomorphic vector bundles. The stabilized moduli are de…

Extending the Geometry of Heterotic Spectral Cover Constructions

Lara B. Anderson, Xin Gao, Mohsen Karkheiran

In this work we extend the well-known spectral cover construction first developed by Friedman, Morgan, and Witten to describe more general vector bundles on elliptically fibered Ca…

Heterotic/Heterotic and Heterotic/F-theory Duality

Lara B. Anderson, He Feng, Xin Gao +1

We consider heterotic target space dual (0,2) GLSMs on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this context, each half of the "dual" heterotic theories must in turn have an F…

TASI Lectures on Geometric Tools for String Compactifications

Lara B. Anderson, Mohsen Karkheiran

In this work we provide a self-contained and modern introduction to some of the tools, obstacles and open questions arising in string compactifications. Techniques and current prog…
