K3–Fibrations and Heterotic-Type II String Duality

We analyze the map between heterotic and type II N=2 supersymmetric string theories for certain two and three moduli examples found by Kachru and Vafa. The appearance of elliptic j-functions can be traced back to specializations of the Picard-Fuchs equations to systems for K3 surfaces. For the three-moduli example we write the mirror maps and Yukawa couplings in the weak coupling limit in terms...

Heterotic-Type II String Duality and the H-Monopole Problem

Since T-duality has been proved only perturbatively and most of the heterotic states map into solitonic, non-perturbative, type II states, the 6-dimensional string-string duality between the heterotic string and the type II string is not sufficient to prove the S-duality of the former, in terms of the known T-duality of the latter. We nevertheless show in detail that the perturbative T-duality,...

Duality Between the Webs of Heterotic and Type II Vacua

We discuss how transitions in the space of heterotic K3×T 2 compactifications are mapped by duality into transitions in the space of Type II compactifications on Calabi–Yau manifolds. We observe that perturbative symmetry restoration, as well as non-perturbative processes such as changes in the number of tensor multiplets, have at least in many cases a simple description in terms of the reflexi...

Heterotic/type-ii Duality and Its Field Theory Avatars

In these lecture notes, I will describe heterotic/type-II duality in six and four dimensions. When supersymmetry is the maximal N=4 it will be shown that the duality reduces in the eld theory limit to the Montonen-Olive duality of N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory. We will consider further compactiications of type II theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds. We will understand the physical meaning of geometric...

Heterotic Twistor-String Theory

We reformulate twistor-string theory as a heterotic string based on a twisted (0,2) model. The path integral localizes on holomorphic maps, while the (0,2) moduli naturally correspond to the states of N = 4 super Yang-Mills and conformal supergravity under the Penrose transform. We show how the standard twistor-string formulae of scattering amplitudes as integrals over the space of curves in su...
