String dualities and toric geometry: An introduction
From MaRDI portal
Publication:1610029
Toric varieties, Newton polyhedra, Okounkov bodies (14M25) Calabi-Yau manifolds (algebro-geometric aspects) (14J32) Research exposition (monographs, survey articles) pertaining to quantum theory (81-02) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)
Abstract: This note is supposed to be an introduction to those concepts of toric geometry that are necessary to understand applications in the context of string and F-theory dualities. The presentation is based on the definition of a toric variety in terms of homogeneous coordinates, stressing the analogy with weighted projective spaces. We try to give both intuitive pictures and precise rules that should enable the reader to work with the concepts presented here.
