About: Conifold

An Entity of Type: Manifold103717750, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

In mathematics and string theory, a conifold is a generalization of a manifold. Unlike manifolds, conifolds can contain conical singularities, i.e. points whose neighbourhoods look like cones over a certain base. In physics, in particular in flux compactifications of string theory, the base is usually a five-dimensional real manifold, since the typically considered conifolds are complex 3-dimensional (real 6-dimensional) spaces.

  • In mathematics and string theory, a conifold is a generalization of a manifold. Unlike manifolds, conifolds can contain conical singularities, i.e. points whose neighbourhoods look like cones over a certain base. In physics, in particular in flux compactifications of string theory, the base is usually a five-dimensional real manifold, since the typically considered conifolds are complex 3-dimensional (real 6-dimensional) spaces.

  • La transition de conifold n'est pas très différente de la transition de flop, mais les accrocs et les sont beaucoup plus cataclysmiques. C'est aussi une évolution de la composante d'un espace de Calabi-Yau où le tissu même de l'espace-temps se déchire, puis se reconstitue de lui-même. (fr)
  • 끈 이론에서 코니폴드(영어: conifold)는 뿔 꼴의 특이점을 가지는 다양체이다. 특이점에도 불구하고, 이러한 공간 위에서 끈 이론을 정의할 수 있다. 끈 이론에서는 이러한 특이점에 D-막이 감겨 있는 것으로 해석하고, 코니폴드 특이점을 통해 위상수학적으로 서로 다른 두 공간 사이를 매끄럽게 전이할 수 있다. (ko)
