Classification of N=2 supersymmetric CFT_{4}s: Indefinite Series
Using geometric engineering method of 4D quiver gauge
theories and results on the classification of Kac-Moody (KM) algebras, we show
on explicit examples that there exist three sectors of infrared
CFTs. Since the geometric engineering of these CFTs involve type II
strings on K3 fibered CY3 singularities, we conjecture the existence of three
kinds of singular complex surfaces containing, in addition to the two standard
classes, a third indefinite set. To illustrate this hypothesis, we give
explicit examples of K3 surfaces with H and E hyperbolic
singularities. We also derive a hierarchy of indefinite complex algebraic
geometries based on affine and T algebras going beyond the
hyperbolic subset. Such hierarchical surfaces have a remarkable signature that
is manifested by the presence of poles.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
On Local Calabi-Yau Supermanifolds and Their Mirrors
We use local mirror symmetry to study a class of local Calabi-Yau
super-manifolds with bosonic sub-variety V_b having a vanishing first Chern
class. Solving the usual super- CY condition, requiring the equality of the
total U(1) gauge charges of bosons \Phi_{b} and the ghost like fields \Psi_{f}
one \sum_{b}q_{b}=\sum_{f}Q_{f}, as \sum_{b}q_{b}=0 and \sum_{f}Q_{f}=0,
several examples are studied and explicit results are given for local A_{r}
super-geometries. A comment on purely fermionic super-CY manifolds
corresponding to the special case where q_{b}=0, \forall b and \sum_{f}Q_{f}=0
is also made.\bigskipComment: 17 page
On N=1 gauge models from geometric engineering in M-theory
We study geometric engineering of four-dimensional N=1 gauge models from M-theory on a seven-dimensional manifold with G_2 holonomy. The manifold is constructed as a K3 fibration over a three-dimensional base space with ADE geometry. The resulting gauge theory is discussed in the realm of (p,q) webs. We discuss how the anomaly cancellation condition translates into a condition on the associated affine ADE Lie algebras
