Polynomial Roots and Calabi-Yau Geometries

The examination of roots of constrained polynomials dates back at least to Waring and to Littlewood. However, such delicate structures as fractals and holes have only recently been found. We study the space of roots to certain integer polynomials arising naturally in the context of Calabi-Yau spaces, notably Poincare and Newton polynomials, and observe various salient features and geometrical patterns.Comment: 22 pages, 13 Figure

A Monograph on the Classification of the Discrete Subgroups of SU(4)

We here present, in modern notation, the classification of the discrete finite subgroups of SU(4) as well as the character tables for the exceptional cases thereof (Cf. http://pierre.mit.edu/~yhe/su4.ct). We hope this catalogue will be useful to works on string orbifold theories, quiver theories, WZW modular invariants, Gorenstein resolutions, nonlinear sigma-models as well as some recently proposed inter-connections among them.Comment: 12 Pages, 1 Figure, Format and hyperlinks update
