We give necessary conditions for the existence of perturbative heterotic and common sector type II string warped compactifications preserving four and eight supersymmetries to four spacetime dimensions, respectively. In particular, we find that the only compactifications of heterotic string with the spin connection embedded in the gauge connection and type II strings are those on Calabi-Yau manifolds with constant dilaton. We obtain similar results for compactifications to six and to two dimensions.

  1. On the rigidity of special and exceptional geometries with torsion a closed $3$-form

    math.DG 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Riemannian manifolds with a closed parallel torsion 3-form are locally N × G (G semisimple), enabling simplified proofs and explicit classification of strong G2, Spin(7), and certain 8D HKT manifolds.

  2. Stringy Corrections to Heterotic SU(3)-Geometry

    hep-th 2025-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    At second order in alpha', heterotic SU(3) compactifications with a smooth large-radius limit obey the same complex geometric equations as Strominger's first-order system, and the Hull connection is not an instanton.
