Stability of vector bundles from F-theory

Abstract

We use a recently proposed formulation of stable holomorphic vector bundles VV on elliptically fibered Calabi--Yau n-fold ZnZ_n in terms of toric geometry to describe stability conditions on VV. Using the toric map f:Wn+1(V,Zn)f: W_{n+1} \to (V,Z_n) that identifies dual pairs of F-theory/heterotic duality we show how stability can be related to the existence of holomorphic sections of a certain line bundle that is part of the toric construction.
