Searching for Supersymmetric Cycles: A Quest for Cayley Manifolds in the Calabi–Yau 4-Torus
Recent results of string theory have shown that while the traditional cycles studied in Calabi-Yau 4-manifolds preserve half the spacetime supersymmetry, the more general class of Cayley cycles are novel in that they preserve only one quarter of it. Moreover, Cayley cycles play a crucial role in und...
