abstract

We describe all almost contact metric, almost hermitian and $G_2$-structures admitting a connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion tensor, and prove that there exists at most one such connection. We investigate its torsion form, its Ricci tensor, the Dirac operator and the $\nabla$-parallel spinors. In particular, we obtain solutions of the type II string in dimension $n=5,6$ and 7.

  1. 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.
