Four-dimensional orientifold physics
Marcus Berg
4 Jun 2007, 16:30 – 17:30

I will give an overview of the state of the art of D-brane gauge coupling computations and Kaehler metric computations in string theory orientifold models. This type of calculation involves interesting interplay between worldsheet geometry, spacetime geometry and field space geometry. Applications range from inflationary cosmology to particle phenomenology.
