Motivated by SU (3) structure compactifications, we show explicitly how to construct half-flat topological mirrors to Calabi-Yau manifolds with NS fluxes. Units of flux are exchanged with …

We prove existence results for Dirac-harmonic maps using index theoretical tools. They are mainly interesting if the source manifold has dimension 1 or 2 modulo 8. Our solutions are …

Let M be a compact spin manifold with a chosen spin structure. The Atiyah–Singer index theorem implies that for any Riemannian metric on M the dimension of the kernel of the …

In this paper, we estimate the supremum of Perelman's λ-functional λ M (g) on Riemannian 4- manifold (M, g) by using the Seiberg-Witten equations. Among other things, we prove that …

We introduce a differential topological invariant for compact differentiable manifolds by counting the small eigenvalues of the Conformal Laplace operator. This invariant vanishes if …
We construct a class of symplectic non-Kähler and complex non-Kähler string theory vacua, extending and providing evidence for an earlier suggestion by Polchinski and Strominger …

Let M be a compact manifold with a spin structure χ and a Riemannian metric g. Let λg2 be the smallest eigenvalue of the square of the Dirac operator with respect to g and χ. The τ …
