Geometric Transitions, Non-Kahler Geometries and String Vacua
Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker, Keshav Dasgupta +1
We summarize an explicit construction of a duality cycle for geometric transitions in type II and heterotic theories. We emphasize that the manifolds with torsion constructed with…
In the Realm of the Geometric Transitions
Stephon Alexander, Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker +3
We complete the duality cycle by constructing the geometric transition duals in the type IIB, type I and heterotic theories. We show that in the type IIB theory the background on t…
D3/D7 Brane Inflation and Semilocal Strings
Keshav Dasgupta, Jonathan P. Hsu, Renata Kallosh +2
Among the inflationary models based on string theory, the D3/D7 model has the advantage that the flatness of the inflaton potential can be protected even with moduli stabilization.…
Geometric Transitions, Flops and Non-Kahler Manifolds: I
Melanie Becker, Keshav Dasgupta, Anke Knauf +1
We construct a duality cycle which provides a complete supergravity description of geometric transitions in type II theories via a flop in M-theory. This cycle connects the differe…
