Non-Perturbative Vacua and Particle Physics in M-Theory
Ron Donagi, Andre Lukas, Burt A. Ovrut +1
In this letter, we introduce a general theory for the construction of particle physics theories, with three families and realistic gauge groups, within the context of heterotic M-t…
The Heterotic String, the Tangent Bundle, and Derived Categories
Paul S. Aspinwall, Ron Y. Donagi
We consider the compactification of the E8xE8 heterotic string on a K3 surface with "the spin connection embedded in the gauge group" and the dual picture in the type IIA string (o…
Taniguchi Lecture on Principal Bundles on Elliptic Fibrations
Ron Y. Donagi
In this talk we discuss the description of the moduli space of principal G-bundles on an elliptic fibration X-->S in terms of cameral covers and their distinguished Prym varieties.…
ICMP lecture on Heterotic/F-theory duality
Ron Y. Donagi
The heterotic string compactified on an (n-1)-dimensional elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau Z-->B is conjectured to be dual to F-theory compactified on an n-dimensional Calabi-Yau X-…
Moduli in N=1 heterotic/F-theory duality
Gottfried Curio, Ron Y. Donagi
The moduli in a 4D N=1 heterotic compactification on an elliptic CY, as well as in the dual F-theoretic compactification, break into "base" parameters which are even (under the nat…
