Asymptotic String Compactifications; Periods, flux potentials, and the swampland

Understand

In this thesis we have studied various applications of asymptotic Hodge theory in string compactifications.

• This mathematical framework captures how physical couplings of the resulting effective theories behave near field space boundaries where the internal Calabi-Yau manifold degenerates.
• Below we summarize the three parts in which this thesis is divided.
• Part I introduces the techniques from asymptotic Hodge theory we used throughout this thesis.
