M-theory and orientifolds
From MaRDI portal
Publication:1995095
Abstract: We construct the M-Theory lifts of type IIA orientifolds based on K3-fibred Calabi-Yau threefolds with compatible involutions. Such orientifolds are shown to lift to M-Theory on twisted connected sum manifolds. Beautifully, the two building blocks forming the manifold correspond to the open and closed string sectors. As an application, we show how to use such lifts to explicitly study open string moduli. Finally, we use our analysis to construct examples of manifolds with different inequivalent TCS realizations.
