Abstract

We study aspects of the geometry and physics of type II string theory compactification on Calabi-Yau manifolds. The emphasis is on non-perturbative phenomena which arise when the compactification manifold develops singularities, and the implications on quantum geometry of the the Calabi-Yau spaces. We use both the methods of low energy supergravity and the complementary approach via D brane probes. Applications to the study of four-dimensional N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories are considered as well.
