A small and non-simple geometric transition

Algebraic Geometry 2022-05-24 v3

Abstract

Following notation introduced in the recent paper \cite{Rdef}, this paper is aimed to present in detail an example of a "small" geometric transition which is not a "simple" one i.e. a deformation of a conifold transition. This is realized by means of a detailed analysis of the Kuranishi space of a Namikawa cuspidal fiber product, which in particular improves the conclusion of Y.~Namikawa in Remark 2.8 and Example 1.11 of \cite{N}. The physical interest of this example is presenting a geometric transition which can't be immediately explained as a massive black hole condensation to a massless one, as described by A.~Strominger \cite{Strominger95}.
