Calabi-Yau manifolds (algebro-geometric aspects) (14J32) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30) Applications of compact analytic spaces to the sciences (32J81)

Abstract: We present an explicit method for translating between the linear sigma model and the spectral cover description of SU(r) stable bundles over an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifold. We use this to investigate the 4-dimensional duality between (0,2) heterotic and F-theory compactifications. We indirectly find that much interesting heterotic information must be contained in the `spectral bundle' and in its dual description as a gauge theory on multiple F-theory 7-branes. A by-product of these efforts is a method for analyzing semistability and the splitting type of vector bundles over an elliptic curve given as the sheaf cohomology of a monad.
