M-theory and orientifolds

Abstract We construct the M-Theory lifts of type IIA orientifolds based on K3-fibred Calabi-Yau threefolds with compatible involutions. Such orientifolds are shown to lift to M-Theory on twisted connected sum G 2 manifolds. Beautifully, the two building blocks forming the G 2 manifold correspond to...
