Attractors in Type IIB Calabi-Yau Compactifications
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- We study the properties of extremal black hole excitations of 4d supersymmetric string vacua arising from compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds. The values of the vector multiplet moduli near the black hole horizon are governed by the attractor mechanism. In this thesis, we discuss the following two questions: "what is the distribution of attractor points on moduli space?" and "what are mathematical properties of Calabi-Yau manifolds at the attractor points?" We employ tools developed in [1,2] to answer the first question. Then, we prove an important theorem due to Moore [3] on the arithmetic of attractors and discuss some recent developments on this topic.
