Abstract

When an M-theory fivebrane wraps a holomorphic surface P\mathcal{P} in a Calabi-Yau 3-fold XX the low energy dynamics is that of a black string in 5 dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 supergravity. The infrared dynamics on the string worldsheet is an N=(0,4)\mathcal{N} = (0,4) 2D conformal field theory. Assuming the 2D CFT can be described as a nonlinear sigma model, we describe the target space geometry of this model in terms of the data of XX and P\mathcal{P}. Variations of weight two Hodge structures enter the construction of the model in an interesting way.
