Let a finite group G act on a differential graded algebra A. This article presents necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the skew group algebra A*G to be Calabi-Yau. In particular, when A is the Ginzburg dg algebra of a quiver…
It is known that moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds are special K\"ahler manifolds. This structure determines the corresponding low-energy effective theory which arises in superstring compactifications on CY manifolds. In the case,…
It is known that there exist Calabi-Yau structures on the complexifications of symmetric spaces of compact type. In this paper, we describe the Calabi-Yau structures of the complexified symmetric spaces in terms of the Schwarz's theorem in…
We perform the Kaluza-Klein reduction of M-theory on warped Calabi-Yau fourfolds with non-trivial four-form flux turned on. The resulting scalar- and superpotential is computed and compared with the superpotential obtained by Gukov, Vafa…
We construct a wide class of non-geometric compactifications of type II superstring theories preserving N=1 space-time supersymmetry in four dimensions, starting from Calabi-Yau compactifications at Gepner points. Particular examples of…
In previous work we demonstrated that the enlarged super-Poincare algebras which underlie p-brane and D-brane actions in superstring theory can be directly determined based on the integrability of supersymmetry transformations assigned to…
Over any field of positive characteristic we construct 2-CY-tilted algebras that are not Jacobian algebras of quivers with potentials. As a remedy, we propose an extension of the notion of a potential, called hyperpotential, that allows to…
We construct a spectral sequence that converges to the cohomology of the chiral de Rham complex over a Calabi-Yau hypersurface and whose first term is a vertex algebra closely related to the Landau-Ginburg orbifold. As an application, we…
In this paper, we extend the GKZ-system method to the more general case: compact Complete Intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds (CICY). For several one-deformation modulus compact CICYs with D-branes, the on-shell superpotentials in this paper…
We study the generalization of the idea of a local quiver of a representation of a formally smooth algebra, to broader classes of finitely generated algebras. In this new setting we can construct for every semisimple representation $M$ a…
According to the generalized GKZ system for CY manifold with brane and the open-closed Mirror map, We calculate the off-shell D-Brane/F-Theory effective superpotentials and Ooguri-Vafa invariants of several compact Calabi-Yau manifolds .
Three dimensional N=2 gauge theories with arbitrary gauge group and fundamental flavors are engineered from degenerations of Calabi-Yau four-folds. We show how Coulomb and Higgs branches emerge in the geometric picture. The analysis of…
We consider two-dimensional supergravity theories with four supercharges constructed from compactification of Type II string theory on a generic Calabi-Yau four-fold. In Type IIA and Type IIB cases, respectively, new superspace formulations…
We initiate the representation theory of restricted Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>2. A superalgebra generalization of the celebrated Kac-Weisfeiler Conjecture is formulated, which exhibits a…
Given a pair of derived-equivalent Calabi--Yau manifolds of dimension more than two, we prove that the derived equivalence can be extended to general fibers of versal deformations. As an application, we give a new proof of the…
A class of representations of a Lie superalgebra (over a commutative superring) in its symmetric algebra is studied. As an application we get a direct and natural proof of a strong form of the Poincare'-Birkhoff-Witt theorem, extending this…
We review the supergravity derivation of some non-perturbatively generated effective superpotentials for N=1 gauge theories. Specifically, we derive the Veneziano-Yankielowicz superpotential for pure N=1 Super Yang-Mills theory from the…
Using the algebraic geometry method of Berenstein et al (hep-th/0005087), we reconsider the derivation of the non commutative quintic algebra ${\mathcal{A}}_{nc}(5)$ and derive new representations by choosing different sets of Calabi-Yau…
Throughout the current paper, we extend the study of Zinbiel algebras to Zinbiel superalgebras. In particular, we show that all the Zinbiel superalgebras over an arbitrary field are nilpotent in the same way as occurs for Zinbiel algebras.…
