What's a conifold worth for?
My investigations have lead me to the conclusion that a conifold consist of two cones united by the vertex. What a strange construction! So what's the role of conifolds in superstring theory?
So, why there are so many constructions in superstring theory that end in -old (e.g. orientifold)?
