On Type II Loci in Moduli Space
Jarod Hattab, Eran Palti
We study type II loci in the moduli space of type IIB string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds. We show that around these infinite distance singular loci the leading…
On the K-point in moduli space
Jarod Hattab, Eran Palti, Joan Quirant
We study a class of infinite-distance loci, referred to as K-points, in one-parameter complex-structure moduli spaces of type IIB string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds…
Metrics over multi-parameter AdS vacua
Eran Palti, Nicolò Petri
We study the notion of a distance between different AdS vacua of string theory. The distance is measured by a metric that is derived by taking an off-shell quadratic variation of t…
Notes on integrating out M2 branes
Jarod Hattab, Eran Palti
Integrating out supersymmetric M2 branes wrapped on two-cycles in Calabi-Yau manifolds is an important calculation: it allows the determination of, and in some ways defines, the fr…
Non-perturbative topological string theory on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds from M-theory
Jarod Hattab, Eran Palti
We show that the full non-perturbative topological string free energy, in the holomorphic limit, follows simply from a target space integrating out calculation of M2 states. Qualit…
