Asymptotic behaviour of the sectional ring by Wu, Xiaojun

“…The theory of the Okounkov body is a usual tool for analyzing the asymptotic behaviour of the sectional ring of a line bundle over a projective manifold. In this note, combined with the algebraic reduction, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the sectional ring of a line bundle over any arbitrary compact, normal, irreducible complex space.…”

Combinatorics in N = 1 Heterotic Vacua by Seung-Joo Lee

“…We briefly review an algorithmic strategy to explore the landscape of heterotic E 8 × E 8 vacua, in the context of compactifying smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds with vector bundles. The Calabi-Yau threefolds are algebraically realised as hypersurfaces in toric varieties, and a large class of vector bundles are constructed thereon as monads. …”
