Compactifications of Heterotic Strings on Non-Kahler Complex Manifolds: II
Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker, Keshav Dasgupta +2
We continue our study of heterotic compactifications on non-Kahler complex manifolds with torsion. We give further evidence of the consistency of the six-dimensional manifold prese…
On Branes and Oriented B-fields
Keshav Dasgupta, Marina Shmakova
Novel theories appear on the world-volume of branes by orienting B fields along various directions of the branes. We review some of the earlier developments and explore many new ex…
Properties Of Heterotic Vacua From Superpotentials
Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker, Keshav Dasgupta +1
We study the superpotential for the heterotic string compactified on non-Kahler complex manifolds. We show that many of the geometrical properties of these manifolds can be underst…
Time-Dependent Warping, Fluxes, and NCYM
Keshav Dasgupta, Govindan Rajesh, Daniel Robbins +1
We describe the supergravity solutions dual to D6-branes with both time-dependent and time-independent B-fields. These backgrounds generalize the Taub-NUT metric in two key ways: t…
Compactifications of Heterotic Theory on Non-Kahler Complex Manifolds: I
Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker, Keshav Dasgupta +1
We study new compactifications of the SO(32) heterotic string theory on compact complex non-Kahler manifolds. These manifolds have many interesting features like fewer moduli, tors…
