We consider N =1 compactifications to four dimensions of heterotic string theory in the presence of fluxes. We show that up to order O(\alpha'^2) the associated action can be written as a sum of squares of BPS-like quantities. In this way we prove that the equations of motion are solved by backgrounds which fulfill the supersymmetry conditions and the Bianchi identities. We also argue for the expression of the related superpotential and discuss the radial modulus stabilization for a class of examples.

  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. 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.

  3. Universal geometry as an organising principle for heterotic moduli

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Universal geometry is shown to be consistent with the alpha'^2-corrected heterotic supersymmetry equations when the composite Hull connection is used as the universal tangent-bundle connection.
