Classifying Fibers and Bases in Toric Hypersurface Calabi-Yau Threefolds
Fatima Abbasi, Richard Nally, Washington Taylor
We carry out a complete analysis of the toric elliptic and genus-one fibrations of all 474 million reflexive polytopes in the Kreuzer-Skarke database. Earlier work with Huang showe…
Statistics of Base Polytopes in F-theory
Washington Taylor, Yi-Nan Wang, Yihang Yu
We propose a new statistical ensemble of toric bases for elliptic Calabi-Yaus used in F-theory models, by focusing on only the convex hull of the base, i.e., the base polytope. Thi…
Linearized supergravity from Matrix theory
D. Kabat, W. Taylor
We show that the linearized supergravity potential between two objects arising from the exchange of quanta with zero longitudinal momentum is reproduced to all orders in 1/r by ter…
Fluctuation Spectra of Tilted and Intersecting D-branes from the Born-Infeld Action
Akikazu Hashimoto, Washington Taylor
We consider the spectra of excitations around diagonal and intersecting D-brane configurations on tori. These configurations are described by constant curvature connections in a du…
Branes, Fluxes and Duality in M(atrix)-Theory
Ori J. Ganor, Sanjaye Ramgoolam, Washington Taylor
We use the T-duality transformation which relates M-theory on T^3 to M-theory on a second T^3 with inverse volume to test the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind suggestion for the mat…
