- Non-linear sigma model in string field theory
- Time: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
- Place: Chamberlin 5280
- Speaker: Manki Kim, Stanford University
- Abstract: I will describe how to construct data of the worldsheet CFT of the strings probing a curved background with a non-trivial topology in string field theory. As a simple application, I will describe how to use this result to compute the D-instanton superpotential and loop corrections to the Kahler potential in Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications in the large volume limit.
