Notes on Heterotic Compactifications
In this technical note we describe a pair of results on heterotic compactifications. First, we give an example demonstrating that the usual statement of the anomaly-freedom constraint for perturbative heterotic compactifications (meaning, matching second Chern characters) is incorrect for compactifications involving torsion-free sheaves. Secondly, we correct errors in the literature regarding t...
متن کاملOn discrete Twist and Four-Flux in N = 1 heterotic/F -theory compactifications
We give an indirect argument for the matching G2 = −π∗γ 2 of four-flux and discrete twist in the duality between N = 1 heterotic string and F -theory. This treats in detail the Euler number computation for the physically relevant case of a Calabi-Yau fourfold with singularities.

متن کاملComments on Heterotic Flux Compactifications
In heterotic flux compactification with supersymmetry, three different connections with torsion appear naturally, all in the form ω + aH . Supersymmetry condition carries a = −1, the Dirac operator has a = −1/3, and higher order term in the effective action involves a = 1. With a view toward the gauge sector, we explore the geometry with such torsions. After reviewing the supersymmetry constrai...
متن کاملRecent developments in heterotic compactifications
In this short review, we outline three sets of developments in understanding heterotic string compactifications. First, we outline recent progress in heterotic analogues of quantum cohomology computations. Second, we discuss a potential swampland issue in heterotic strings, and new heterotic string constructions that can be used to fill in the naively missing theories. Third, we discuss recent ...
متن کاملChiral matter and transitions in heterotic string models
In the framework of N = 1 supersymmetric string models given by the heterotic string on an elliptic Calabi-Yau π : Z → B together with a SU(n) bundle we compute the chiral matter content of the massless spectrum. For this purpose the net generation number, i.e. half the third Chern class, is computed from data related to the heterotic vector bundle in the spectral cover description; a non-techn...
