(0,2) Target Space Duality, CICYs and Reflexive Sheaves
Preprint
Abstract
It is shown that the recently proposed target space duality for (0,2) models is not limited to models admitting a Landau-Ginzburg description. By studying some generic examples it is established for the broader class of vector bundles over complete intersections in toric varieties. Instead of sharing a common Landau-Ginzburg locus, a pair of dual models agrees in more general non-geometric phases. The mathematical tools for treating reflexive sheaves are provided, as well.Keywords
