Calabi-Yau four-fold

Calabi-Yau four-fold

A Calabi-Yau four-fold is a Calabi-Yau manifold whose complex dimension is four (i.e. the real dimension is eight).

F-theory compactifications on various Calabi-Yau four-folds provide physicists with the best understood method to find a large number of classical solution in the so-called string theory landscape.
