Calabi's diastasis as interface entropy
Constantin P. Bachas, Ilka Brunner, Michael R. Douglas +1
We show that the entropy of certain conformal interfaces between sigma models that belong to the same moduli space, has a natural geometric interpretation in the large vo…

Geodesics on Calabi-Yau manifolds and winding states in nonlinear sigma models
Peng Gao, Michael R. Douglas
We conjecture that a non-flat -real-dimensional compact Calabi-Yau manifold, such as a quintic hypersurface with D=6, or a K3 manifold with D=4, has locally length minimizing cl…
