Abelian fibrations and Flux-Geometry duality

Gao Peng

University of Toronto

We expose the details of a new duality between warped flux compactifications and Calabi-Yau spaces in a concrete type IIB orientifold example with N=2 supersymmetry. We constructed the Calabi-Yau geometry which matches all expectations on its topological and geometrical properties based on the dual flux background. Besides the geometric construction, we also offer a description based on ‘string junctions’ and monodromy matrices.
