Geometric flows and Strominger systems

DH Phong, S Picard, X Zhang - Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2018 - Springer
Abstract A geometric flow on (2, 2)-forms is introduced which preserves the balanced
condition of metrics, and whose stationary points satisfy the anomaly equation in Strominger …

The Fu–Yau equation with negative slope parameter

DH Phong, S Picard, X Zhang - Inventiones mathematicae, 2017 - Springer
Abstract The Fu–Yau equation is an equation introduced by Fu and Yau as a generalization
to arbitrary dimensions of an ansatz for the Strominger system. As in the Strominger system …

Anomaly flows

DH Phong, S Picard, X Zhang - arXiv preprint arXiv:1610.02739, 2016 - arxiv.org
The Anomaly flow is a flow which implements the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation
mechanism originating from superstring theory, while preserving the conformally balanced …

The Anomaly flow and the Fu-Yau equation

DH Phong, S Picard, X Zhang - Annals of PDE, 2018 - Springer
The Anomaly flow is shown to converge on toric fibrations with the Fu-Yau ansatz, for both
positive and negative values of the slope parameter α'α′. This implies both results of Fu …

Geometric flows and supersymmetry

A Ashmore, R Minasian, Y Proto - Communications in Mathematical …, 2024 - Springer
We study the relation between supersymmetry and geometric flows driven by the Bianchi
identity for the three-form flux H in heterotic supergravity. We describe how the flow …

Infinitesimal moduli for the Strominger system and Killing spinors in generalized geometry

M Garcia-Fernandez, R Rubio, C Tipler - Mathematische Annalen, 2017 - Springer
We construct the space of infinitesimal variations for the Strominger system and an
obstruction space to integrability, using elliptic operator theory. We initiate the study of the …

We construct many new invariant solutions to the Strominger system with respect to a 2-
parameter family of metric connections∇ ε, ρ in the anomaly cancellation equation. The …

A construction of infinitely many solutions to the Strominger system

T Fei, Z Huang, S Picard - arXiv preprint arXiv:1703.10067, 2021 - projecteuclid.org
The Strominger system [23, 37] is a system of partial differential equations characterizing the
compactification of heterotic superstrings with torsion. Mathematically speaking, we may …
