Compactifications of heterotic string theory on Generalized Calabi-Yau manifolds have been expected to give the same type of flexibility that type IIB compactifications on Calabi-Yau orientifolds have. In this note we generalize the work…
We approach string phenomenology from the perspective of computational algebraic geometry, by providing new and efficient techniques for proving stability and calculating particle spectra in heterotic compactifications. This is done in the…
The relation between certain Hamiltonians, known as dual, or partner Hamiltonians, under the transformation $x{\rightarrow}\bar{x}^{\bar{\alpha}}$ has long been used as a method of simplifying spectral problems in quantum mechanics. This…
The analytic Langlands correspondence describes the solution to the spectral problem for the quantised Hitchin Hamiltonians. It is related to the S-duality of $\cal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. We propose a one-parameter deformation of…
We review "quantum" invariants of closed oriented 3-dimensional manifolds arising from operator algebras.
Using ``Tate's algorithm,'' we identify loci in the moduli of F-theory compactifications corresponding to enhanced gauge symmetry. We apply this to test the proposed F-theory/heterotic dualities in six dimensions. We recover the…
An overview is given of the construction of a differential polynomial ring of functions on the moduli space of Calabi-Yau threefolds. These rings coincide with the rings of quasi modular forms for geometries with duality groups for which…
The Baker-Akhiezer (wave) functions corresponding to soliton solutions of the KP hierarchy are shown to satisfy eigenvalue equations for a commutative ring of translational operators in the spectral parameter. In the rational limit, these…
Bethe/gauge correspondence identifies supersymmetric vacua of massive gauge theories invariant under the two dimensional N=2 Poincare supersymmetry with the stationary states of some quantum integrable system. The supersymmetric theory can…
We show that the full non-perturbative topological string free energy, in the holomorphic limit, follows simply from a target space integrating out calculation of M2 states. Qualitatively, this is the same as the calculation performed by…
In some string theories, e.g. SO(32) heterotic string theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds, a massless field with a tree level potential can acquire a tachyonic mass at the one loop level, forcing us to quantize the theory around a new background…
We use mirror symmetry, the refined holomorphic anomaly equation and modularity properties of elliptic singularities to calculate the refined BPS invariants of stable pairs on non-compact Calabi-Yau manifolds, based on del Pezzo surfaces…
We compactify $M$-theory on a Calabi-Yau manifold to five dimensions by wrapping the membrane and fivebrane solitons of the eleven-dimensional supergravity limit around Calabi-Yau two-cycles and four-cycles respectively. We identify the…
Gopakumar, Ooguri and Vafa famously proposed the existence of a correspondence between a topological gauge theory on one hand ($U(N)$ Chern-Simons theory on the three-sphere) and a topological string theory on the other (the topological…
Calabi-Yau manifolds have played a key role in both mathematics and physics, and are particularly important for deriving realistic models of particle physics from string theory. Unfortunately, very little is known about the explicit metrics…
We discuss the spectral problem for integrable superstrings on generically twisted AdS_5 x S^5, meaning all its orbifolds and TsT transformed versions. We explicitly give the asymptotic description of these theories through a twisted…
We review the idea of Hilbert Series as a tool to study the moduli space and the BPS operators of four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric field theories. We concentrate on the particular case of N=1 superconformal field theories living on N D3…
We consider the interactions of strings on T-folds from the world-sheet point of view which are exact in $\alpha'$. As a concrete example, we take a model where the internal torus at the so(8) enhancement point is twisted by T-duality…
This seminal paper marks the beginning of our investigation into on the spectral theory based on $S$-spectrum applied to the Dirac operator on manifolds. Specifically, we examine in detail the cases of the Dirac operator $\mathcal{D}_H$ on…
In this paper we investigate the spectral and the scattering theory of Schr\"odinger operators acting on perturbed periodic discrete graphs. The perturbations considered are of two types: either a multiplication operator by a short-range or…
