We study two aspects of the physics of heterotic Line Bundle Standard Models on smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds. First, we investigate to what degree modern moduli stabilization scenarios can affect the standard model spectrum in such…
It is an important question in string compactification whether complex structure moduli stabilization inevitably ends up with a vacuum expectation value of the superpotential < W > of the order of the Planck scale cubed. Any thoughts on…
Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) classes generalize to singular and/or noncompact varieties the classical total homology Chern class of the tangent bundle of a smooth compact complex manifold. The theory of CSM classes has been extended to…
Based on the present data, the three CKM angles may construct a spherical surface triangle whose area automatically provides a "holonomy" phase. By assuming this geometrical phase to be that in the CKM matrix determined by an unknown hidden…
We propose the decay modes $B \to a_0 (\to \eta \pi) \pi$ to determine the CKM phase $\alpha$. One can analyze these modes through (i) the $B \to a_0 \pi$ isospin pentagon, (ii) the time dependent Dalitz plot of $B^0(t) \to a_0^{\pm}…
This paper aims to shed light on what becomes of discrete torsion within heterotic orbifolds when they are resolved to smooth geometries. Gauged Linear Sigma Models (GLSMs) possessing (0,2) worldsheet supersymmetry are employed as…
Let $R$ be a standard graded algebra over a field $k$, with irrelevant maximal ideal $\fm$, and $I$ a homogeneous $R$-ideal. We study the asymptotic vanishing behavior of the graded components of the local cohomology modules…
This article studies moduli spaces of Bridgeland semistable objects in the Kuznetsov component of a cubic fourfold that don't admit a symplectic resolution, i.e., moduli spaces of objects with non-primitve Mukai vector v=mv_0 that is not of…
In this article we study the phase transition phenomenon for the Ising model under the action of a non-uniform external magnetic field. We show that the Ising model on the hypercubic lattice with a summable magnetic field has a first-order…
We prove that homological stability fails for the moduli space of any simply-connected closed smooth 4-manifold in any degree of homology, unlike what happens in all dimensions $\neq 4$. We detect also the homological discrepancy between…
In this talk we discuss a few relevant aspects of heterotic M-theory. These are the stabilization of the two relevant moduli (the length of the eleventh segment (pi rho) and the volume of the internal six manifold (V)) in models where…
We examine the structure of the Yukawa couplings in the 11 dimensional Horava-Witten M-theory based on non-standard embeddings. We find that the CKM and quark mass hierarchies can be explained in M Theory without introducing undue fine…
Let R be a commutative Noetherian d-dimensional complete equicharacterisitc regular local ring and let I be an ideal of R such that every minimal prime over I has height at most c. Let v=d - [(d-2)/c]-1 and v'=d - [(d-1)/c]. It has been…
The complex-field zeros of the Random Energy Model are analytically determined. For T<T_c they are distributed in the whole complex plane with a density that decays very fast with the real component of H. For T>T_c a region is found which…
We study the localized tachyon condensation in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. We completely determine the decay mode of an unstable orbifold $C^r/Z_n$, $r=1,2,3$ under the condensation of a tachyon with definite R-charge and mass by…
We study the relation between a heterotic T^6/Z6 orbifold model and a compactification on a smooth Voisin-Borcea Calabi-Yau three-fold with non-trivial line bundles. This orbifold can be seen as a Z2 quotient of T^4/Z3 x T^2. We consider a…
In a previous paper, arXiv:1301.4409, we showed that the moduli space of curves C with a G-symmetry (that is, with a faithful action of a finite group G), having a fixed generalized homological invariant, is irreducible if the genus g' of…
In the previous paper [arXiv:0911.0679], we showed that the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole in the 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter space coupled to the Maxwell theory with the Chern-Simons term is unstable when the Chern-Simons coupling is…
We study the semi-infinite Ising model with an external field $h_i = \lambda |i_d|^{-\delta}$, $\lambda$ is the wall influence, and $\delta>0$. This external field decays as it gets further away from the wall. We are able to show that when…
In this article, we investigate the topological properties of complex manifolds by studying Dolbeault-Morse-Novikov cohomology. By establishing an integral inequality, we obtain two main results: (1) When a closed complex manifold admits a…
