Heterotic String Compactifications on Half-flat Manifolds II

چکیده
In this paper, we continue the analysis of heterotic string compactifications on half-flat mirror manifolds by including the 10-dimensional gauge fields. It is argued, that the heterotic Bianchi identity is solved by a variant of the standard embedding. Then, the resulting gauge group in four dimensions is still E6 despite the fact that the Levi-Civita connection has SO(6) holonomy. We derive the associated four-dimensional effective theories including matter field terms for such compactifications. The results are also extended to more general manifolds with SU(3) structure. email: [email protected] email: [email protected] email: [email protected] On leave from IFIN-HH Bucharest.

A Note on Moduli Stabilisation in Heterotic Models in the Presence of Matter Fields
In this brief note we analyse a toy model which can be derived from heterotic string compactifications on half-flat manifolds with SU(3) structure at first order in α (ie including matter fields). We show that for this model, finding solutions with viable gauge group poses the same problems as finding solutions in the absence of matter fields.
متن کاملA no - go theorem for string warped compactifications
We give necessary conditions for the existence of perturbative heterotic and common sector type II string warped compactifications preserving four and eight supersymmetries to four spacetime dimensions, respectively. In particular, we find that the only compactifications of heterotic string with the spin connection embedded in the gauge connection and type II strings are those on Calabi-Yau man...
متن کاملHeterotic M(atrix) theory at generic points in Narain moduli space
Type II compactifications with varying string coupling can be described elegantly in F-theory/M-theory as compactifications on U manifolds. Using a similar approach to describe Super Yang-Mills with a varying coupling constant, we argue that at generic points in Narain moduli space, the E8×E8 Heterotic string compactified on T 2 is described in M(atrix) theory byN = 4 SYM in 3+1 dimensions with...
متن کاملKähler versus Non-Kähler Compactifications
We review our present understanding of heterotic compactifications on non-Kähler complex manifolds with torsion. Most of these manifolds can be obtained by duality chasing a consistent F-theory compactification in the presence of fluxes. We show that the duality map generically leads to non-Kähler spaces on the heterotic side, although under some special conditions we recover Kähler compactific...
متن کاملCompactifications of Heterotic Strings on Non-Kähler Complex Manifolds: II
We continue our study of heterotic compactifications on non-Kähler complex manifolds with torsion. We give further evidence of the consistency of the six-dimensional manifold presented earlier and discuss the anomaly cancellation and possible supergravity description for a generic non-Kähler complex manifold using the newly proposed superpotential. The manifolds studied in our earlier papers ha...
