Abstract

We study the type II superstring theory on the background \brd1,1×Xn\br^{d-1,1}\times X_n, where XnX_n is a Calabi-Yau nn-fold (2n+d=102n+d=10) with an isolated singularity, by making use of the holographically dual description proposed by Giveon-Kutasov-Pelc (hep-th/9907178). We compute the toroidal partition functions for each of the cases d=6,4,2d=6,4,2, and obtain manifestly modular invariant solutions classified by the standard ADEA-D-E series corresponding to the type of singularities on XnX_n. Partition functions of these modular invariants all vanish due to theta function identities and are consistent with the presence of space-time supersymmetry.
