Supersymmetry, Ricci flat manifolds and the String Landscape [PDF]

open access: diamondJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
AbstractA longstanding question in superstring/Mtheory is does it predict supersymmetry below the string scale? We formulate and discuss a necessary condition for this to be true; this is the mathematical conjecture that all stable, compact Ricci flat manifolds have special holonomy in dimensions below eleven. Almost equivalent is the proposal that the

The Calabi construction for compact Ricci flat Riemannian manifolds [PDF]

open access: goldBulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 1974
1. The main result and some consequences. In 1956 E. Calabi [6] attacked the classification problem of compact euclidean space forms by means of a special construction, called the Calabi construction (see Wolf [14, p. 124]). Here we announce that the construction can be extended to compact riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature tensor is zero ...

Weighted Sobolev Inequalities and Ricci Flat Manifolds [PDF]

open access: greenGeometric and Functional Analysis, 2009
We prove a weighted Sobolev inequality and a Hardy inequality on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature satisfying an inverse doubling volume condition. It enables us to obtain rigidity results for Ricci flat manifolds, generalizing earlier work of Bando, Kasue and Nakajima.

Ricci-flat Kähler manifolds from supersymmetric gauge theories [PDF]

open access: greenNuclear Physics B, 2002
Using techniques of supersymmetric gauge theories, we present the Ricci-flat metrics on non-compact Kahler manifolds whose conical singularity is repaired by the Hermitian symmetric space. These manifolds can be identified as the complex line bundles over the Hermitian symmetric spaces. Each of the metrics contains a resolution parameter which controls

Bismut Ricci flat manifolds with symmetries [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Section A Mathematics, 2022
We construct examples of compact homogeneous Riemannian manifolds admitting an invariant Bismut connection that is Ricci flat and non-flat, proving in this way that the generalized Alekseevsky–Kimelfeld theorem does not hold. The classification of compact homogeneous Bismut Ricci flat spaces in dimension$5$is also provided.

On invariance and Ricci-flatness of Hermitian metrics on open manifolds

open access: bronzeCommentarii Mathematici Helvetici, 2006
We discuss a technique to construct Ricci-flat hermitian metrics on complements of (some) anticanonical divisors of almost homogeneous complex manifolds and inquire into when this metric is complete and Kähler. This construction has a strong interplay with invariance groups of the same dimension as the manifold acting with an open orbit.

More M-branes on product of Ricci-flat manifolds [PDF]

open access: greenInternational Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics, 2011
Partially supersymmetric intersecting (non-marginal) composite M-brane solutions defined on the product of Ricci-flat manifolds M0 × M1 × ⋯ × Mn in D = 11 supergravity are considered and formulae for fractional numbers of unbroken supersymmetries are derived for the following configurations of branes: M2 ∩ M2, M2 ∩ M5, M5 ∩ M5 and M2 ∩ M2 ∩ M2 ...
