Bundle transitions are described using language recently espoused by Friedman, Morgan, Witten. In addition, partly as a check on our methods, we also study how small instantons are described in the same language, and also describe the sheaves corresponding to small instantons.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1997-06-05T19:47:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heterotic string theory", "small instantons", "study extremal transitions", "heterotic string compactifications", "calabi-yau manifold" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
