Heterotic type IIA duality with fluxes - towards the complete story
Andrei Micu
TL;DR
This paper explores the duality between heterotic and type IIA string theories with fluxes, revealing dual flux configurations and proposing lifts to M-theory or F-theory for certain fluxes.
Contribution
It demonstrates duality of various fluxes and suggests that some fluxes necessitate lifting to higher-dimensional theories for a complete understanding.
Findings
Many fluxes are dual to each other across theories
Certain heterotic fluxes require M-theory or F-theory lifts
The work advances the understanding of flux dualities in string theory
Abstract
In this paper we study the heterotic type IIA duality when fluxes are turned on. We show that many of the known fluxes are dual to each other and claim that certain fluxes on the heterotic side require that the type IIA picture is lifted to M or even F-theory compactifications with geometric fluxes.
