Abstract

Using geometric engineering method of 4D N=2\mathcal{N}=2 quiver gauge theories and results on the classification of Kac-Moody (KM) algebras, we show on explicit examples that there exist three sectors of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 infrared CFT4_{4}s. Since the geometric engineering of these CFT4_{4}s involve type II strings on K3 fibered CY3 singularities, we conjecture the existence of three kinds of singular complex surfaces containing, in addition to the two standard classes, a third indefinite set. To illustrate this hypothesis, we give explicit examples of K3 surfaces with H34_{3}^{4} and E10_{10} hyperbolic singularities. We also derive a hierarchy of indefinite complex algebraic geometries based on affine ArA_{r} and T%_{(p,q,r)} algebras going beyond the hyperbolic subset. Such hierarchical surfaces have a remarkable signature that is manifested by the presence of poles.
