  • Abstract
    We provide a local geometric description of how charged matter arises in type IIA, M-theory, of F-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds. The basic idea is to deform a higher singularity into a lower one through Cartan deformations which vary over space. The results agree with expectations based on string dualities.
