on Calabi-Yau manifolds. The emphasis is on non-perturbative phenomena which arise when the compactification manifold develops singularities, and the implications
on quantum geometry of the the Calabi-Yau spaces. We use both the methods of low energy
supergravity and the complementary approach via D brane probes. Applications to the study of four-dimensional N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories are considered as well.Read More
