Abstract

Moduli spaces for a wide class of Calabi-Yau manifolds with different numerical invariants (and thus topologically distinct) can be assembled into a connected ‘‘web’’ in which all distances are finite. This increases the plausibility of phase transitions among the corresponding superstring vacua.
