Title: Exact Kahler potential for Calabi-Yau manifolds
Room: 55N-02-Conference Room of Dept. of Appl. Phys. and Dept. of Phys.
We study quantum Kahler moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Our analysis is based on the recent work by Jockers et al. which gives a novel method to compute the Kahler potential on the quantum Kahler moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifold. In contrast to Calabi-Yau threefold, the quantum nature of higher dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold is yet to be fully elucidated. In this talk, we focus on the Calabi-Yau fourfold. In particular, we conjecture the explicit form of the quantum-corrected Kahler potential. We also compute the genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants and test our conjecture by comparing the results with predictions from mirror symmetry. Super Calabi-Yau manifolds and open mirror symmetry are also discussed.
