Moduli in general SU(3)-structure heterotic compactifications

Thesis

In this thesis, we study compactifiations of ten-dimensional heterotic supergravity at O(α'), focusing on the moduli of such compactifications. We begin by studying supersymmetric compactifications to four-dimensional maximally symmetric space, commonly referred to as the Strominger system. The compactifications are of the form M₁₀ = M₄ x X, where M₄ is four-dimensional Minkowski space, and X is a six-dimensional...
