Title: "Bad Compactifications"
Abstract:
The parameter space of string compactifications contains a locus of
"bad" theories. These theories are physically the most interesting in
many ways. We analyze the bad locus of theories at various levels ---
where it is, it's multiplicity, and finally, we "categorify" it.
This is all done in the context of abelian gauged linear sigma models.
