Generalized Cohomologies and Supersymmetry
Li-Sheng Tseng, Shing-Tung Yau
We show that the complex cohomologies of Bott, Chern, and Aeppli and the symplectic cohomologies of Tseng and Yau arise in the context of type II string theory. Specifically, they…
D0-brane realizations of the resolution of a reduced singular curve
Chien-Hao Liu, Shing-Tung Yau
Based on examples from superstring/D-brane theory since the work of Douglas and Moore on resolution of singularities of a superstring target-space via a D-brane probe, the rich…
D5 elliptic fibrations: non-Kodaira fibers and new orientifold limits of F-theory
Mboyo Esole, James Fullwood, Shing-Tung Yau
A D5 elliptic fibration is a fibration whose generic fiber is modeled by the complete intersection of two quadric surfaces in P3. They provide simple examples of elliptic fibration…
The Electromagnetic Christodoulou Memory Effect and its Application to Neutron Star Binary Mergers
Lydia Bieri, PoNing Chen, Shing-Tung Yau
Gravitational waves are predicted by the general theory of relativity. It has been shown that gravitational waves have a nonlinear memory, displacing test masses permanently. This…
Immersed Lagrangian deformations of a branched covering of a special Lagrangian 3-sphere in a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and its deviation from Joyce's criteria: Potential image-support rigidity of A-branes that wrap around a sL
Chien-Hao Liu, Shing-Tung Yau
Using a hyperKähler rotation on complex structures of a Calabi-Yau 2-fold and rolling of an isotropic 2-submanifold in a symplectic 6-manifold, we construct, by gluing, a natural f…
Small resolutions of SU(5)-models in F-theory
Mboyo Esole, Shing-Tung Yau
We provide an explicit desingularization and study the resulting fiber geometry of elliptically fibered fourfolds defined by Weierstrass models admitting a split A_4 singularity ov…
