We study the cohomology of an elliptic differential complex arising from the infinitesimal moduli of heterotic string theory. We compute these cohomology groups at the standard embedding, and show that they decompose into a direct sum of cohomologies. While this is often assumed in the literature, it had not been explicitly demonstrated. Given a stable gauge bundle over a complex threefold with trivial canonical bundle and no holomorphic vector fields, we also show that the Euler characteristic of this differential complex is zero. This points towards a perfect obstruction theory for the heterotic moduli problem, at least for the most physically relevant compactifications.

  1. Heterotic moduli, the double extension and the alpha'^2 metric

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The heterotic moduli-space metric picks up a torsion-induced complex-structure–hermitian mixing term at order α'^2, while the Kähler potential keeps its functional form.

  2. On a Deformed Holomorphic Chern-Simons Theory

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Deforming holomorphic Chern-Simons theory produces rescaling-invariant instantons and anomaly-free theories on End(TX) for Morse-classified directions in deformation space.
