An Analysis of Fluxes by Duality
Paul S. Aspinwall
M-theory on K3xK3 with non-supersymmetry-breaking G-flux is dual to M-theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold times a 2-torus without flux. This allows for a thorough analysis of the effe…
D-Branes, Pi-Stability and Theta-Stability
Paul S. Aspinwall
We investigate some aspects of Pi-stability of D-branes on Calabi-Yau threefolds in cases where there is a point in moduli space where the grades nearly or completely align. We pro…
Lie Groups, Calabi-Yau Threefolds, and F-Theory
Paul S. Aspinwall, Sheldon Katz, David R. Morrison
The F-theory vacuum constructed from an elliptic Calabi-Yau threefold with section yields an effective six-dimensional theory. The Lie algebra of the gauge sector of this theory an…
Compactification, Geometry and Duality: N=2
Paul S. Aspinwall
These are notes based on lectures given at TASI99. We review the geometry of the moduli space of N=2 theories in four dimensions from the point of view of superstring compactificat…
String Theory and Duality
Paul S. Aspinwall
This is a very brief survey of some results in the geometry of string duality delivered at a lecture given at ICM 1998, Berlin. String Duality is the statement that one kind of str…
The Moduli Space of N = 2 Superconformal Field Theories
Paul Aspinwall
We review the structure of the moduli space of particular N = (2,2) superconformal field theories. We restrict attention to those of particular use in superstring compactification,…
