Introduction to F-theory II

Continuation of the study of aspects of the relation between

  1. moduli spaces of flat E 8 connections on elliptic curves,
  2. the deformation of complex structures on Del Pezzo surfaces and,
  3. singularities on these surfaces,

are studied. The motivation comes from work on "F-theory" by Friedman, Morgan and Witten.
