Superpotentials from singular divisors
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 OD applies when D is smooth, but we argue that effective divisors of Calabi-Yau threefolds...
