A note on 4d N = 3 from little string theory

Abstract

We study little string theory (LST) compactified on ${\mathbf{T}}^2$, partially breaking supersymmetry by a discrete T-duality twist acting on both the Kähler and the complex structure of the torus. This setup gives raise to 4d $\mathcal{N}=3$ models and it can be performed in both the type IIA and type IIB LSTs. We comment on the relation with other constructions proposed in the literature.
