The Hull-Strominger system and the Anomaly flow on a class of solvmanifolds

Abstract

We study the Hull-Strominger system and the Anomaly flow on a special class of 2-step solvmanifolds, namely the class of almost-abelian Lie groups. In this setting, we characterize the existence of invariant solutions to the Hull-Strominger system with respect to the family of Gauduchon connections in the anomaly cancellation equation. Then, motivated by the results on the Anomaly flow, we investigate the flow of invariant metrics in our setting, proving that it always reduces to a flow of a special form. Finally, under an extra assumption on the initial metrics, we show that the flow is immortal and, when the slope parameter is zero, it always converges to a Kähler metric
