  • Heterotic String Compactification with a View Towards Cosmology
    Heterotic String Compactification with a View Towards Cosmology by Jørgen Olsen Lye Thesis for the degree Master of Science (Master i fysikk) Department of Physics Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences University of Oslo May 2014 Abstract The goal is to look at what constraints there are for the internal manifold in phe- nomenologically viable Heterotic string compactification. Basic string theory, cosmology, and string compactification is sketched. I go through the require- ments imposed on the internal manifold in Heterotic string compactification when assuming vanishing 3-form flux, no warping, and maximally symmetric 4-dimensional spacetime with unbroken N = 1 supersymmetry. I review the current state of affairs in Heterotic moduli stabilisation and discuss merging cosmology and particle physics in this setup. In particular I ask what additional requirements this leads to for the internal manifold. I conclude that realistic manifolds on which to compactify in this setup are severely constrained. An extensive mathematics appendix is provided in an attempt to make the thesis more self-contained. Acknowledgements I would like to start by thanking my supervier Øyvind Grøn for condoning my hubris and for giving me free rein to delve into string theory as I saw fit. It has lead to a period of intense study and immense pleasure. Next up is my brother Kjetil, who has always been a good friend and who has been constantly looking out for me. It is a source of comfort knowing that I can always turn to him for help. Mentioning friends in such an acknowledgement is nearly mandatory. At least they try to give me that impression.

  • Calabi-Yau Geometry and Higher Genus Mirror Symmetry
    Calabi-Yau Geometry and Higher Genus Mirror Symmetry A dissertation presented by Si Li to The Department of Mathematics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Mathematics Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts May 2011 © 2011 { Si Li All rights reserved. iii Dissertation Advisor: Professor Shing-Tung Yau Si Li Calabi-Yau Geometry and Higher Genus Mirror Symmetry Abstract We study closed string mirror symmetry on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds at higher genus. String theory predicts the existence of two sets of geometric invariants, from the A-model and the B-model on Calabi-Yau manifolds, each indexed by a non-negative inte- ger called genus. The A-model has been mathematically established at all genera by the Gromov-Witten theory, but little is known in mathematics for B-model beyond genus zero. We develop a mathematical theory of higher genus B-model from perturbative quantiza- tion techniques of gauge theory. The relevant gauge theory is the Kodaira-Spencer gauge theory, which is originally discovered by Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa as the closed string field theory of B-twisted topological string on Calabi-Yau three-folds. We generalize this to Calabi-Yau manifolds of arbitrary dimensions including also gravitational descen- dants, which we call BCOV theory. We give the geometric description of the perturbative quantization of BCOV theory in terms of deformation-obstruction theory. The vanishing of the relevant obstruction classes will enable us to construct the higher genus B-model. We carry out this construction on the elliptic curve and establish the corresponding higher genus B-model.

  • THE KNIGHTS TEMPLARS by Charles Greenstreet Addison
    THE KNIGHTS TEMPLARS By Charles Greenstreet Addison THE KNIGHTS TEMPLARS. CHAPTER I. “Yet ’midst her towering fanes in ruin laid, The pilgrim saint his murmuring vespers paid; ’Twas his to mount the tufted rocks, and rove The chequer’d twilight of the olive grove; ’Twas his to bend beneath the sacred gloom, And wear with many a kiss Messiah’s tomb.” The natural desire of visiting those holy spots which have been sanctified by the presence, and rendered memorable by the sufferings, of the Son of God, drew, during the early ages of Christianity, crowds of devout worshippers and pilgrims to Jerusalem. Among the most illustrious and enthusiastic of the many wanderers to the Holy City was the empress Helena, the mother of Constantine, who, with the warm feelings of a recent conversion, visited in person every place and every object in Palestine associated with the memory of him who died for mankind on the blessed cross. With a holy zeal and a lively enthusiasm, she attempted to fix by unquestionable tradition the scene of each memorable event in the gospel narrative; and Christendom is indebted to her for the real or pretended discovery (about two hundred and ninety-eight years after the death of Christ) of the Holy Sepulchre. Over this sacred monument the empress and her son Constantine caused to be erected the magnificent church of the Resurrection, or, as it is now called, the church of the Holy Sepulchre; and they adorned all those places in the Holy Land which remind us most forcibly of the earthly existence and death of Jesus Christ, with magnificent churches and religious houses.
