103 If η 1, η 2 are P bounded, then so is η 1 η 2 Furthermore, if η is an (n, n) form which is P-bounded, then In particular, η is finite U η C n i=1 1 z 2 i (log 1 z i )2 Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 39/57
104 If η 1, η 2 are P bounded, then so is η 1 η 2 Furthermore, if η is an (n, n) form which is P-bounded, then In particular, η is finite U η C n i=1 1 z 2 i (log 1 z i )2 It is standard to prove that one can choose a cut-off function ρ so that ρ is P-bounded with the Lebesgue of supp ( ρ) going to zero For example, we can pick ρ = g(log 1/r) Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 39/57

106 We consider a neighborhood U at the infinity of the moduli space, where the divisor D can be written as {z 1 = 0} By the nilpotent orbit theorem of Schmid, we have the expansion of the Hodge metric ( ) log 1 α1 r 1 h = + lower order terms ) αr (log 1r1 Without loss of generality, we assume that α 1 α 2 α r Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 40/57
107 We let ) α1 /2 (log 1r1 Λ = ( ) log 1 αr /2 r 1 Then we have h = Λh Λ Then we have h = I + lower order terms, and the connection is hh 1 = ΛΛ 1 + Λ h (h ) 1 Λ 1 + Λh ΛΛ 1 (h ) 1 Λ 1 Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 41/57
108 Go back to the previous expression ρ f(r,, R, Γ Γ 0, R 0,, R 0 ) Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 42/57
109 Since Γ 0, R 0 are smooth, they are bounded Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 43/57
110 Since Γ 0, R 0 are smooth, they are bounded However, even in the above simplest case, the connection and hence the curvature are not P bounded: hh 1 = ΛΛ 1 + Λ h (h ) 1 Λ 1 + Λh ΛΛ 1 (h ) 1 Λ 1 Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 43/57
111 Since Γ 0, R 0 are smooth, they are bounded However, even in the above simplest case, the connection and hence the curvature are not P bounded: hh 1 = ΛΛ 1 + Λ h (h ) 1 Λ 1 + Λh ΛΛ 1 (h ) 1 Λ 1 But is P bounded Ad(Λ 1 )( hh 1 ) = Λ 1 Λ + h (h ) 1 + h ΛΛ 1 (h ) 1 Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 43/57
112 Since Γ 0, R 0 are smooth, they are bounded However, even in the above simplest case, the connection and hence the curvature are not P bounded: hh 1 = ΛΛ 1 + Λ h (h ) 1 Λ 1 + Λh ΛΛ 1 (h ) 1 Λ 1 But Ad(Λ 1 )( hh 1 ) = Λ 1 Λ + h (h ) 1 + h ΛΛ 1 (h ) 1 is P bounded In fact, this is a special case of the Cattani-Kaplan-Schmid theorem Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 43/57
113 The problem is that, when Ad(Λ 1 )( hh 1 ) is P bounded, then in general 0 Λ = log 1 r 1 «α1 /2 1 «C α log r 1 r/2a 1 Ad(Λ 1 )(Γ 0 ) and Ad(Λ 1 )(R 0 ) are not bounded Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 44/57
114 Let Γ 0 = (a ij ) Then Ad(Λ 1 )(Γ 0 ) = (a ij (log 1/r 1 ) αi αj ), and they are bounded if and only if Γ 0 is of lower triangular Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 45/57
115 Let Then Γ 0 = (a ij ) Ad(Λ 1 )(Γ 0 ) = (a ij (log 1/r 1 ) αi αj ), and they are bounded if and only if Γ 0 is of lower triangular The technical heart of the proof is that We are able to find such a connection Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 45/57
116 Let Ω α be the frame defined by the nilpotent theorem and let A αβ be the transition functions We proved that the connection Γ α = ψ γ A αγ A 1 αγ is the Correct connection! Or roughly speaking, they are all of lower triangular! Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 46/57
117 The proof is very technical and uses the full power of the SL 2 -orbit theorem of several variables Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 47/57
118 The proof is very technical and uses the full power of the SL 2 -orbit theorem of several variables Continue Ṣkip Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 47/57
119 The key technical lemma of this section is the following: Lemma Let U = U γ be an open set such that U C Let A = A αγ Then on U C, Ad((e 1 ) t )Ad(A 1 C )( AA 1 ) is Poincaré bounded Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 48/57
120 Sketch of the Proof Let Ω = Ω γ be the local frame of U defined by the nilpotent orbit theorem Let C be a fixed cone of U and let Ω C be the frame of the cone We assume that C C We just need to prove the assertion of the lemma on C C because as C is running over all the cones, the whole U C will be covered Let e be the matrix under the frame Ω C Let A C be the constant matrix defined as Ω = Ω C At C Then we have Ω C = Ω C At C At (A 1 C )t Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 49/57
121 We let B = A 1 C AA C and let h be the metric matrix of Ω C Then Ω C = Ω C Bt Thus h = Ω t CΩ C = Bh Bt (1) It follows that hh 1 = BB 1 + Ad(B)( h (h ) 1 ) (2) Since A C, A C are constant matrices, we have BB 1 = Ad(A 1 C )( AA 1 ) Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 50/57
122 In order to prove the lemma, we only need to prove that Ad((e 1 ) t )Ad(B) h (h ) 1 = D(Ad(((e ) 1 ) t ))( h (h ) 1 )D 1 is Poincaré bounded, where D = (e 1 ) t B(e ) t Thus we only need to prove that D and D 1 are bounded Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 51/57
123 To prove the claim in the last slide, we observe that if and if then by (1) h = e t kē, h = (e ) t k ē, k = Dk Dt As a consequence of the SL 2 orbit theorem of Cattani-Kaplan-Schmid, Since both k and k are positive definite, D and D 1 must be bounded Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 52/57
124 Physics Background In the paper of Ashok-Douglas the index of all supersymmetric vacua was given The index is given by I vac (L L max ) = const det( R WP ω WP ), M H where M is the Calabi-Yau moduli and H is the moduli space of elliptic curves Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 53/57
125 In the paper of Douglas-Shiffman-Zelditch, the following strengthened result of the above was given Theorem Let K be a compact subset of M with piecewise smooth boundary Then [ ] Ind χk (L) = const(l 2m ) c m (T (M) F 3 ) + O(L 1/2 ) K Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 54/57
126 By our results, we have Theorem The indices I vac and Ind χk are all finite Moreover, Ind χk is bounded from above uniformly with respect to K They are all bounded, up to an absolute constant, by the Hodge volume of the Calabi-Yau moduli Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 55/57
127 In Layman words, if string theory is true, the the number of feasible Universes is finite Zhiqin Lu, UC Irvine Gauss-Bonnet Theorem 56/57
