Orientifolds, Mirror Symmetry and Superpotentials
Bobby Acharya, Mina Aganagic, Kentaro Hori +1
We consider orientifolds of Calabi-Yau 3-folds in the context of Type IIA and Type IIB superstrings. We show how mirror symmetry can be used to sum up worldsheet instanton contribu…

Supersymmetry, G-flux and Spin(7) manifolds
Bobby Acharya, Sergei Gukov, Xenia de la Ossa
In this note we study warped compactifications of M-theory on manifolds of Spin(7) holonomy in the presence of background 4-form flux. The explicit form of the superpotential can b…
