Torsional Heterotic Geometries

Abstract We construct new examples of torsional heterotic backgrounds using duality with orientifold flux compactifications. We explain how duality provides a perturbative solution to the type I/heterotic string Bianchi identity. The choice of connection used in the Bianchi identity plays an important role in the construction. We propose the existence of a much larger landscape of compact torsional geometries using string duality. Finally, we present some quantum exact metrics that correspond to NS5-branes placed on an elliptic space. These metrics describe how torus isometries are broken by NS flux.

- Supersymmetry breaking by fluxes (2017, background): “the interplay between W 0 and instantons does not generate new metastable vacua; in this case specically de Sitter vacua. Many type IIB ux orientifold models can be dualized to heterotic backgrounds [14,70, 71]. If there is a ux-generated W 0 of any size in the type IIB model then a combination of N”
