Some Features of (0,2) Moduli Space

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We discuss some aspects of perturbative (0,2)(0,2) Calabi-Yau moduli space. In particular, we show how models with different (0,2)(0,2) data can meet along various sub-loci in their moduli space. In the simplest examples, the models differ by the choice of desingularization of a holomorphic V-bundle over the same resolved Calabi-Yau base while in more complicated examples, even the smooth Calabi-Yau base manifolds can be topologically distinct. These latter examples extend and clarify a previous observation which was limited to singular Calabi-Yau spaces and seem to indicate a multicritical structure in moduli space. This should have a natural F-theory counterpart in terms of the moduli space of Calabi-Yau four-folds.
