Toroidal Compactification Without Vector Structure
Edward Witten
Many important ideas about string duality that appear in conventional $\T^2$ compactification have analogs for $\T^2$ compactification without vector structure. We analyze some of…
Black Hole Entropy in M-Theory
Juan Maldacena, Andrew Strominger, Edward Witten
Extremal black holes in M-theory compactification on are microscopically represented by fivebranes wrapping , where is a Calabi-Yau threefold and …
Integration over the u-plane in Donaldson theory
Gregory Moore, Edward Witten
We analyze the u-plane contribution to Donaldson invariants of a four-manifold X. For , this contribution vanishes, but for , the Donaldson invariants must be…
New ``Gauge'' Theories In Six Dimensions
Edward Witten
More general constructions are given of six-dimensional theories that look at low energy like six-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory. The constructions start with either parallel…
Vector Bundles over Elliptic Fibrations
Robert Friedman, John W. Morgan, Edward Witten
This paper gives various methods for constructing vector bundles over elliptic curves and more generally over families of elliptic curves. We construct universal families over gene…
On The Conformal Field Theory Of The Higgs Branch
Edward Witten
We study 1+1-dimensional theories of vector and hypermultiplets with (4,4) supersymmetry. Despite strong infrared fluctuations, these theories flow in general to distinct conformal…
