Description
A mathematical/numerical algrithm is presented for computing Ricci-flat metrics on Calabi-Yau threefolds. This will be explicitly applied to quintics, Z5XZ5 quotients of quintics as well as to the Z3XZ3 threefold of the Heterotic Standard Model. Using these metrics, a procedure is given for explictly calculating the eigenvalue/eigenfunction spectrum of the scalar Laplacian on these Calabi-Yau threefolds.
