We further develop on the study of the conditions for the existence of locally stable non-supersymmetric vacua with vanishing cosmological constant in supergravity models involving only chiral superfields. Starting from the two necessary…
In this paper we consider a canonical compactification of Hitchin's moduli space of stable Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree over a Riemann surface, producing a projective variety by gluing in a divisor at infinity. We give…
A holomorphic vector bundle on a Calabi-Yau threefold, X, with h^{1,1}(X)>1 can have regions of its Kahler cone where it is slope-stable, that is, where the four-dimensional theory is N=1 supersymmetric, bounded by "walls of stability". On…
We analyse the vector bundle moduli arising from generic heterotic compactifications from the point of view of quiver representations. Phenomena such as stability walls, crossing between chambers of supersymmetry, splitting of non-Abelian…
We prove that every Kaehler solvmanifold has a finite covering whose holomorphic reduction is a principal bundle. An example is given that illustrates the necessity, in general, of passing to a proper covering. We also answer a stronger…
We characterize the geometric moduli of non-Kaehler manifolds with torsion. Heterotic supersymmetric flux compactifications require that the six-dimensional internal manifold be balanced, the gauge bundle be hermitian Yang-Mills, and also…
We show the stability of certain syzygies of line bundles on curves, which we call transforms, and are kernels of the evaluation map on subspaces of the space of global sections. For the transforms constructed, we prove the existence of…
In this note we study two features of submanifolds (subvarieties) with ample normal bundles in a compact K\"ahler manifold X. First, we study how algebraic X can be, i.e. we investigate the algebraic dimension. Second, we study curves with…
This is partly a survey and partly a research article. Some known results and open problems about Kaehler groups (fundamental groups of compact Kaehler manifolds) are discussed. A new notion of Kaehler homomorphism is introduced. This is a…
We construct a moduli space that parametrises stable proper holomorphic submersions over a fixed compact Kaehler base. Stability is described in terms of the existence of a canonical relatively Kaehler metric on the submersion, called an…
A hyperkaehler manifold with a circle action fixing just one complex structure admits a natural a hyperholomorphic line bundle. This forms the basis for the construction of a corresponding quaternionic Kaehler manifold in the work of…
We investigate the collider signatures of modular invariant gaugino condensation, with Kahler stabilization of the dilaton, in the context of weakly coupled heterotic string-based models as an example of how supergravity can be used to…
In this paper, we consider a natural map from the Kahler cone to the balanced cone of a Kahler manifold. We study its injectivity and surjecticity. We also give an analytic characterization theorem on a nef class being Kahler.
The number of the relations of a Kahler group is bounded below by the number of the generators and some geometric invariants of the corresponding compact Kahler manifold, like the irregularity, the Albanese dimension and the Albanese…
Let X be a smooth irreducible complex projective curve of genus g > 1. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an unstable bundle of HN-lenght 2 to have a particular algebra of endomorphisms. Then, fixing the…
We show that a compact Kahler manifold admitting a nondegenerate holomorphic 2-form valued in a line bundle is a finite cyclic cover of a hyperkahler manifold. With respect to the connection induced by the locally hyperkahler metric, the…
We review the theory and phenomenology of effective supergravity theories based on orbifold compactifications of the weakly-coupled heterotic string. In particular, we consider theories in which the four-dimensional theory displays target…
This article describes some complex-analytic aspects of the moduli space of the finite-dimensional complex representations of a finite quiver, which are stable with respect to a fixed rational weight. We construct a natural structure of a…
We study new compactifications of the SO(32) heterotic string theory on compact complex non-Kahler manifolds. These manifolds have many interesting features like fewer moduli, torsional constraints, vanishing Euler character and vanishing…
Let G be a split reductive group. We introduce the moduli problem of "bundle chains" parametrizing framed principal G-bundles on chains of lines. Any fan supported in a Weyl chamber determines a stability condition on bundle chains. Its…
