Lectures on Warped Compactifications and Stringy Brane Constructions
S. Kachru
In these lectures, two different aspects of brane world scenarios in 5d gravity or string theory are discussed. In the first two lectures, work on how warped compactifications of 5…
Mirror symmetry for open strings
Shamit Kachru, Sheldon Katz, Albion Lawrence +1
We discuss the generation of superpotentials in four-dimensional, N = 1 supersymmetric field theories arising from type IIA D6-branes wrapped on supersymmetric three-cycles of a Ca…
Bounds on curved domain walls in 5d gravity
Shamit Kachru, Michael Schulz, Eva Silverstein
We discuss maximally symmetric curved deformations of the flat domain wall solutions of five-dimensional dilaton gravity that appeared in a recent approach to the cosmological cons…
Self-tuning flat domain walls in 5d gravity and string theory
Shamit Kachru, Michael Schulz, Eva Silverstein
We present Poincare invariant domain wall (``3-brane'') solutions to some 5-dimensional effective theories which can arise naturally in string theory. In particular, we find theori…
Open string instantons and superpotentials
Shamit Kachru, Sheldon Katz, Albion Lawrence +1
We study the F-terms in N=1 supersymmetric, d=4 gauge theories arising from D(p+3)-branes wrapping supersymmetric p-cycles in a Calabi-Yau threefold. If p is even the spectrum and…
