Black holes and balanced metrics
Michael R. Douglas, Semyon Klevtsov
We consider a probe in a BPS black hole in type II strings compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds, and conjecture that its moduli space metric is the balanced metric.
The Universal Kaehler Modulus in Warped Compactifications
Andrew R. Frey, Gonzalo Torroba, Bret Underwood +1
We construct the effective theory of the universal Kaehler modulus in warped compactifications using the Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity. The spacetime dependent 10d…
Bergman Kernel from Path Integral
Michael R. Douglas, Semyon Klevtsov
We rederive the expansion of the Bergman kernel on Kahler manifolds developed by Tian, Yau, Zelditch, Lu and Catlin, using path integral and perturbation theory, and generalize it…
Kinetic terms in warped compactifications
Michael R. Douglas, Gonzalo Torroba
We develop formalism for computing the kinetic terms of 4d fields in string compactifications, particularly with warping. With the help of the Hamiltonian approach, we identify a g…
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…
Dynamics of Warped Flux Compactifications
Gary Shiu, Gonzalo Torroba, Bret Underwood +1
We discuss the four dimensional effective action for type IIB flux compactifications, and obtain the quadratic terms taking warp effects into account. The analysis includes both th…
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…
