The course will focus on string theory compactifications on (generalised) Calabi-Yau manifolds |
| |
The plan of the course is (time permitting):
PART I - Calabi-Yau manifolds
Superstring Spectrum and Supergravity
Toroidal Compactifications and Supersymmetry
Complex Geometry, Kahler Geometry
Calabi-Yau spaces and Supersymmetry
Compactifications on Calabi-Yau spaces
PART II - Fluxes and generalized Calabi-Yau spaces
Fluxes and supersymmetry
Generalized complex geometry
Pure spinor equations for supersymmetry
Known classes of supersymmetric flux compactifications
