Futaki Invariants and Yau's Conjecture on the Hull-Strominger system

M Garcia-Fernandez, RG Molina - arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.05274, 2023 - arxiv.org
We find a new obstruction to the existence of solutions of the Hull-Strominger system, which
goes beyond the balanced property of the Calabi-Yau manifold $(X,\Omega) $ and the …

Harmonic metrics for the Hull-Strominger system and stability

M Garcia-Fernandez, RG Molina - arXiv preprint arXiv:2301.08236, 2023 - arxiv.org
We investigate stability conditions related to the existence of solutions of the Hull-Strominger
system with prescribed balanced class. We build on recent work by the authors, where the …

The Strominger system in the square of a K\" ahler class

TC Collins, S Picard, ST Yau - arXiv preprint arXiv:2211.03784, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study the Strominger system with fixed balanced class. We show that classes which are
the square of a K\" ahler metric admit solutions to the system for vector bundles satisfying the …

Pluriclosed flow and the Hull-Strominger system

M Garcia-Fernandez, RG Molina, J Streets - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We define a natural extension of pluriclosed flow aiming at constructing solutions of the Hull-
Strominger system. We give several geometric formulations of this flow, which yield a series …

The decoupling of moduli about the standard embedding

B Chisamanga, J McOrist, S Picard… - Journal of High Energy …, 2025 - Springer
A bstract We study the cohomology of an elliptic differential complex arising from the
infinitesimal moduli of heterotic string theory in the supergravity approximation. We compute …

The Strominger System and Flows by the Ricci Tensor

S Picard - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.17770, 2024 - arxiv.org
This is a survey on the Strominger system and a geometric flow known as the anomaly flow.
We will discuss various aspects of non-K\" ahler geometry on Calabi-Yau threefolds. Along …

A Kummer construction for Chern–Ricci flat balanced manifolds

F Giusti, C Spotti - Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2024 - Springer
Given a non-Kähler Calabi–Yau compact orbifold with isolated singularities endowed with a
Chern–Ricci flat balanced metric, we study, via a gluing construction, the existence of Chern …

Balanced and Aeppli Parameters for the Heterotic Moduli

S Picard, PL Wu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.05331, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we fix the complex structure and explore the moduli space of the heterotic
system by considering two different yet" dual" deformation paths starting from a K\" ahler …

Special Lagrangian Cycles and Calabi-Yau Transitions

TC Collins, S Gukov, S Picard, ST Yau - Communications in Mathematical …, 2023 - Springer
We construct special Lagrangian 3-spheres in non-Kähler compact threefolds equipped with
the Fu–Li–Yau geometry. These non-Kähler geometries emerge from topological transitions …

Riemannian curvature identities on almost Calabi–Yau with torsion 6-manifold and generalized Ricci solitons

S Ivanov, N Stanchev - Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata (1923-), 2024 - Springer
It is observed that on a compact almost complex Calabi–Yau with torsion 6-manifold the
Nijenhuis tensor is parallel with respect to the torsion connection. If the torsion is closed then …
