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,…
On the Geometric Interpretation of N = 2 Superconformal Theories
Paul Aspinwall, Brian Greene
We clarify certain important issues relevant for the geometric interpretation of a large class of N = 2 superconformal theories. By fully exploiting the phase structure of these th…
Chiral Rings Do Not Suffice: N=(2,2) Theories with Nonzero Fundamental Group
P. S. Aspinwall, D. R. Morrison
The Kahler moduli space of a particular non-simply-connected Calabi-Yau manifold is mapped out using mirror symmetry. It is found that, for the model considered, the chiral ring ma…
String Theory on K3 Surfaces
P. S. Aspinwall, D. R. Morrison
The moduli space of N=(4,4) string theories with a K3 target space is determined, establishing in particular that the discrete symmetry group is the full integral orthogonal group…
Minimum Distances in Non-Trivial String Target Spaces
P. Aspinwall
The idea of minimum distance, familiar from R <-> 1/R duality when the string target space is a circle, is analyzed for less trivial geometries. The particular geometry studied is…
Resolution of Orbifold Singularities in String Theory
P. Aspinwall
In this paper the relationship between the classical description of the resolution of quotient singularities and the string picture is reviewed in the context of N=(2,2) superconfo…
