abstract
Using a $U$-duality symmetry of type II compactification on $T^4$ represented by triality action on the $T$-duality group, and applying the adiabatic argument we construct dual pairs of type II compactifications in lower dimensions. The simplicity of this construction makes it an ideal set up for testing various conjectures about string dualities. In some of these models the type II string has a perturbative non-abelian gauge symmetry. Examples include models with $N=2,4,6$ supersymmetry in four dimensions. There are also self-dual (in the sense of $S-T$ exchange symmetric) $N=2$ and $N=6$ examples. A generalization of the adiabatic argument can be used to construct dual pairs of models with $N=1$ supersymmetry.

A benchmark model using genus-2 modular invariance generates quark mass hierarchies and CP violation via moduli VEVs near invariant points, with mass ratios vanishing in the symmetric limit and mixing angles reproduced.
String-scale UV cut-off in the gravitational path integral removes string-coupling dependence from the BPS black hole index in extended supergravity, matching supersymmetry expectations for zero-Euler-number cases.
