The SO(32) Heterotic String on a K3 Surface
Paul S. Aspinwall, Mark Gross
The SO(32) heterotic string on a K3 surface is analyzed in terms of the dual theory of a type II string (or F-theory) on an elliptically fibred Calabi-Yau manifold. The results are…
Heterotic-Heterotic String Duality and Multiple K3 Fibrations
Paul S. Aspinwall, Mark Gross
A type IIA string compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold which admits a K3 fibration is believed to be equivalent to a heterotic string in four dimensions. We study cases where a Ca…
Black Hole Condensation and the Web of Calabi-Yau Manifolds
Ti-ming Chiang, Brian R. Greene, Mark Gross +1
We review recent work concerning topology changing phase transitions through black hole condensation in Type II string theory. We then also briefly describe a present study aimed a…
Stable Singularities in String Theory
Paul S. Aspinwall, David R. Morrison, Mark Gross
We study a topological obstruction of a very stringy nature concerned with deforming the target space of an non-linear \sm. This target space has a singularity which may be s…
