    A bstract The open string sector of the topological B-model on CY ( m + 2)-folds is described by m -graded quivers with superpotentials. This correspondence generalizes the connection between CY ( m + 2)-folds and gauge theories on the worldvolume of D(5 − 2 m )-branes for m = 0 , . . . , 3 to arbitrary m . In this paper we introduce the Calabi-Yau product, a new algorithm that starting from the known quiver theories for a pair of toric CY m +2 and CY n +2 produces the quiver theory for a related CY m + n +3 . This method significantly supersedes existing ones, enabling the simple determination of quiver theories for geometries that were previously out of practical reach.

  2. A bstract We study non-supersymmetric extremal black hole excitations of 4d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supersymmetric string vacua arising from compactification on Calabi-Yau threefolds. The values of the (vector multiplet) moduli at the black hole horizon are governed by the attractor mechanism. This raises natural questions, such as “what is the distribution of attractor points on moduli space?” and “how many attractor black holes are there with horizon area up to a certain size?” We employ tools developed by Denef and Douglas [1] to answer these questions.
