Numerical Calabi-Yau metrics
Michael R. Douglas, Robert L. Karp, Sergio Lukic +1
We develop numerical methods for approximating Ricci flat metrics on Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in projective spaces. Our approach is based on finding balanced metrics, and builds on…
Massless Spectra of Three Generation U(N) Heterotic String Vacua
Ralph Blumenhagen, Sebastian Moster, Rene Reinbacher +1
We provide the methods to compute the complete massless spectra of a class of recently introduced supersymmetric E8 x E8 heterotic string models which invoke vector bundles with U(…
Numerical solution to the hermitian Yang-Mills equation on the Fermat quintic
Michael R. Douglas, Robert L. Karp, Sergio Lukic +1
We develop an iterative method for finding solutions to the hermitian Yang-Mills equation on stable holomorphic vector bundles, following ideas recently developed by Donaldson. As…
Yukawa Couplings on Quintic Threefolds
Ron Donagi, Rene Reinbacher, Shing-Tung Yau
We compute the particle spectrum and some of the Yukawa couplings for a family of heterotic compactifications on quintic threefolds X involving bundles that are deformations of TX+…
Branes, Bundles and Attractors: Bogomolov and Beyond
Michael R. Douglas, Rene Reinbacher, Shing-Tung Yau
We discuss conjectures following from the attractor mechanism in type II string theory about the possible Chern classes of stable holomorphic vector bundles on Calabi-Yau threefold…
The Spectra of Heterotic Standard Model Vacua
Ron Donagi, Yang-Hui He, Burt A. Ovrut +1
A formalism for determining the massless spectrum of a class of realistic heterotic string vacua is presented. These vacua, which consist of SU(5) holomorphic bundles on torus-fibe…
