B-L Cosmic Strings in Heterotic Standard Models
T. Brelidze, B. Ovrut
E_{8} X E_{8} heterotic string and M-theory, when compactified on smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds with SU(4) vector bundles, can give rise to softly broken N=1 supersymmetric theories…

Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions of the Scalar Laplace Operator on Calabi-Yau Manifolds
Volker Braun, Tamaz Brelidze, Michael R. Douglas +1
A numerical algorithm for explicitly computing the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Calabi-Yau threefolds is presented. The requisite Ricci-flat metrics are calculated…

Calabi-Yau Metrics for Quotients and Complete Intersections
Volker Braun, Tamaz Brelidze, Michael R. Douglas +1
We extend previous computations of Calabi-Yau metrics on projective hypersurfaces to free quotients, complete intersections, and free quotients of complete intersections. In partic…
