Type IIA and Heterotic String Vacua in D=2
arXiv:hep-th/0011075 · doi:10.1016/S0550-3213(00)00786-0
Abstract
We study type IIA string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau fourfolds and heterotic string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds times a two-torus. We derive the resulting effective theories which have two space-time dimensions and preserve four supercharges. The duality between such vacua is established at the level of the effective theory. For type IIA vacua with non-trivial Ramond-Ramond background fluxes a superpotential is generated. We show that for a specific choice of background fluxes and a fourfold which has the structure of a threefold fibred over a sphere the superpotential coincides with the superpotential recently proposed by Taylor and Vafa in compactifications of type IIB string theory on a threefold.
