Phases of flux vacua and their quantum symmetries
Dan Israel, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Yann Proto
We present a torsional linear sigma model with (0,2) supersymmetry that realizes, in its large radius phase, a five-dimensional heterotic flux vacuum, and we use the linear sigma m…
String probes, simple currents, and the no global symmetries conjecture
Guglielmo Lockhart, Luca Novelli, Yann Proto
Center one-form symmetries in consistent quantum gravity theories are expected to be either broken or gauged, thereby determining the global form of the gauge group. We shed light…
Rational points in the 6d supergravity landscape and simple current extensions
Guglielmo Lockhart, Yann Proto
We investigate a recently identified class of six-dimensional supergravities without tensor multiplets whose primitive BPS strings are described by a rational superconformal field…
Shift orbifolds, decompactification limits, and lattices
Dan Israel, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Yann Proto
We describe the general shift orbifold of a Narain CFT and use this to investigate decompactification limits in the heterotic Narain moduli space. We also comment on higher rank th…
Topology change and heterotic flux vacua
Dan Israel, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Ruben Minasian +1
We investigate the interrelation between topology and Narain T-duality of heterotic flux vacua. We present evidence that all 5 and 4-dimensional Minkowski space heterotic flux back…
Geometric flows and supersymmetry
Anthony Ashmore, Ruben Minasian, Yann Proto
We study the relation between supersymmetry and geometric flows driven by the Bianchi identity for the three-form flux in heterotic supergravity. We describe how the flow equat…
A Worldsheet Approach to Heterotic Flux Backgrounds
Dan Israel, Yann Proto
Heterotic backgrounds with torsion preserving minimal supersymmetry in four dimensions can be obtained as orbifolds of principal bundles over . We consider a worldsheet…
