Periods and Duality Symmetries in Calabi-Yau Compactifications

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

We derive the period structure of several one-modulus Calabi-Yau manifolds. With this knowledge we then obtain the generators of the duality group and the mirror map that defines the physical variable tt representing the radius of compactification. We also describe the fundamental region of tt and discuss its relation with automorphic functions. As a byproduct of our analysis we compute the non-perturbative corrections of Yukawa couplings.
