We consider the general case of a type IIA string compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold which has a heterotic dual description. It is shown that the nonabelian gauge symmetries which can appear nonperturbatively in the type II string but which are understood perturbatively in the heterotic string are purely a result of string-string duality in six dimensions. We illustrate this with some examples.

    Tropological sigma models on 4D targets are defined on filtered manifolds with nilpotent Engel algebra symmetries and conjectured to correspond to filtered Gromov-Witten invariants.
