D-branes on Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Superpotentials

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We show how to compute terms in an expansion of the world-volume superpotential for fairly general D-branes on the quintic Calabi-Yau using linear sigma model techniques, and show in examples that this superpotential captures the geometry and obstruction theory of bundles and sheaves on this Calabi-Yau.
