Vienna Theory Lunch Club - Mirror Symmetry
Speaker:Alexander Noll (TU Wien)
Abstract:Mirror symmetry is a duality between two string theories compactified on two different geometries. It has very interesting consequences: it allows one to compute correlation functions exactly, including instanton corrections, by relating them to certain computations which can be performed in the mirror theory. I will give a pedagocial introduction to the simplest case of mirror symmetry, namely T-duality for the closed bosonic string and explain the consequences. In particular, I will show that T-duality implies that there is a minimal length scale in string theory. I will then generalize the discussion to superstrings.
