Holes in Calabi-Yau Effective Cones
Naomi Gendler, Elijah Sheridan, Michael Stillman +1
Motivated by their role in non-perturbative potentials in string theory, we study divisors in effective cones of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We give examples of geometries for which som…

The Vacuum Moduli Space of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
Yang-Hui He, Vishnu Jejjala, Brent D. Nelson +2
A starting point in the study of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is the vacuum moduli space, which is a highly complicated algebraic variety: it is the image of an…

Vacuum Geometry of the Standard Model
Yang-Hui He, Vishnu Jejjala, Brent D. Nelson +2
Vacuum structure of a quantum field theory is a crucial property. In theories with extended symmetries, such as supersymmetric gauge theories, the vacuum is typically a continuous…
