Description
In this talk we discuss the structure of integral periods for Calabi-Yau fourfolds globally over the entire quantum Kaehler moduli space and deduce their monodromy behavior around singular points. While for Calabi-Yau threefolds the dimension of the period vector is solely determined by the dimension of the moduli space, this is in general not true anymore for Calabi-Yau fourfolds. We comment on implications of these findings for flux induced superpotentials in compactification scenarios.
