Superpotentials from singular divisors

Abstract We study Euclidean D3-branes wrapping divisors D in Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory. Witten’s counting of fermion zero modes in terms of the cohomology of the structure sheaf O D $$ {\mathcal{O}}_D $$ applies when D is smooth, but we argue that effective d...
