Description
String Theory is a web of perturbatively defined 10 dimensional theories related to each other by various dualities such as "T-duality". When considering a "timelike" T-duality we uncover theories that realize all spacetime signatures.
In this talk, I will motivate the study of dynamic spacetime signature in a quantum gravity context and present the theories obtained in 4 dimensions when compactifying these exotic theories on a Calabi-Yau manifold, as well as the web of dualities relating them.
I will also give an introduction to the "Special geometry" of the scalar sector and, if time permits, I will describe how this formalism allows one to relate certain black hole solutions to cosmological ones.
