The Strominger conjecture is confirmed for compact Hermitian manifolds in 2D and special higher dimensions.

In this paper, we prove a conjecture raised by Angella, Otal, Ugarte, and Villacampa recently, which states that if the Strominger connection (also known as Bismut connection) of a compact Hermitian manifold is Kähler-like, in the sense that its curvature tensor obeys all the symmetries of the curvature of a Kähler man…

Researchers link vertex algebras to non-Kähler solutions of the Hull-Strominger system.

We construct new examples of solutions of the Hull-Strominger system on non-Kähler torus bundles over K3 surfaces, with the property that the connection $\nabla$ on the tangent bundle is Hermite-Yang-Mills. With this ansatz for the connection $\nabla$, we show that the existence of solutions reduces to known results ab…

The article confirms a complex geometry conjecture for a specific type of manifold.

The Hull-Strominger system for supersymmetric vacua of the heterotic string allows general unitary Hermitian connections with torsion and not just the Chern unitary connection. Solutions on unimodular Lie groups exploiting this flexibility were found by T. Fei and S.T. Yau. The Anomaly flow is a flow whose stationary p…

New obstruction found for Hull-Strominger system solutions.

We construct many new invariant solutions to the Strominger system with respect to a 2-parameter family of metric connections $\nabla^{\varepsilon,ρ}$ in the anomaly cancellation equation. The ansatz $\nabla^{\varepsilon,ρ}$ is a natural extension of the canonical 1-parameter family of Hermitian connections found by Ga…

We study Hermitian metrics with a Gauduchon connection being "Kähler-like", namely, satisfying the same symmetries for curvature as the Levi-Civita and Chern connections. In particular, we investigate $6$-dimensional solvmanifolds with invariant complex structures with trivial canonical bundle and with invariant Hermit…

In this paper, we study a special type of compact Hermitian manifolds that are Strominger Kähler-like, or SKL for short. This condition means that the Strominger connection (also known as Bismut connection) is Kähler-like, in the sense that its curvature tensor obeys all the symmetries of the curvature of a Kähler mani…

Solutions to Strominger system found for square of Kähler class.

We propose a new construction of compact non-Kähler Calabi-Yau manifolds with balanced metrics and study the Strominger system on them. In particular, we obtain explicit solutions to the Strominger system with degeneracies on $Σ_g\times T^4$, where $Σ_g$ is an immersed minimal surface of genus $g\geq3$ in $T^3$.

In this paper we construct explicit smooth solutions to the Strominger system on generalized Calabi-Gray manifolds, which are compact non-Kähler Calabi-Yau 3-folds with infinitely many distinct topological types and sets of Hodge numbers.

These notes give an introduction to the Strominger system of partial differential equations, and are based on lectures given in September 2015 at the GEOQUANT School, held at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ICMAT) in Madrid. We describe the links with the theory of balanced metrics in hermitian geometry, the He…

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 geometry of the moduli space, describing the infinitesimal structure of a natural foliation on this space. The associated leaves are relate…

Estimates eigenvalue for Hermitian manifolds using curvature.

This article surveys the development of the SYZ conjecture since it was proposed by Strominger, Yau and Zaslow in their famous 1996 paper, and discusses how it has been leading us to a thorough understanding of the geometry underlying mirror symmetry.

In this note, we analyze the question of when will a complex nilmanifold have Kähler-like Strominger (also known as Bismut), Chern, or Riemannian connection, in the sense that the curvature of the connection obeys all the symmetries of that of a Kähler metric. We give a classification in the first two cases and a parti…

We construct new smooth solutions to the Hull-Strominger system, showing that the Fu-Yau solution on torus bundles over K3 surfaces can be generalized to torus bundles over K3 orbifolds. In particular, we prove that, for $13 \leq k \leq 22$ and $14\leq r\leq 22$, the smooth manifolds $S^1\times \sharp_k(S^2\times S^3)$…

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 systems. The existence of solutions for a short time is established, using Hamilton's version of the Nash-Moser implicit function theorem.

Given an irreducible unitary representation of a cocompact lattice of SL(2,C), we explicitly write down a solution of the Strominger system of equations. These solutions satisfy the equation of motion, and the underlying holomorphic vector bundles are stable.

The invariant balanced Hermitian geometry of nilmanifolds of dimension 6 is described. We prove that the holonomy group of the associated Bismut connection reduces to a proper subgroup of SU(3) if and only if the complex structure is abelian. As an application we show that if J is abelian then any invariant balanced J-…

Classifies 6D homogeneous spaces with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle.

We show that the property of existence of solution to the Strominger system in dimension six is neither open nor closed under holomorphic deformations of the complex structure. These results are obtained both in the case of positive slope parameter as well as in the case of negative slope parameter in the anomaly cance…

New metrics solve complex equations on special 3D shapes.

This note revisits recent results regarding the geometry and moduli of solutions of the heterotic string on manifolds $Y$ with a $G_2$ structure. In particular, such heterotic $G_2$ systems can be rephrased in terms of a differential $\check {\cal D}$ acting on a complex $\checkΩ^*(Y , {\cal Q})$, where ${\cal Q}=T^*Y\…

Conformally compact and complete smooth solutions to the Strominger system with non vanishing flux, non-trivial instanton and non-constant dilaton using the first Pontrjagin form of the (-)-connection} on 6-dimensional non-Kaehler nilmanifold are presented. In the conformally compact case the dilaton is determined by t…

We prove that a given Calabi-Yau threefold with a stable holomorphic vector bundle can be perturbed to a solution of the Strominger system provided that the second Chern class of the vector bundle is equal to the second Chern class of the tangent bundle. If the Calabi-Yau threefold has strict SU(3) holonomy then the eq…

We study an equation proposed by Fu and Yau as a natural $n$-dimensional generalization of a Strominger system that they solved in dimension $2$. It is a complex Hessian equation with right hand side depending on gradients. Building on the methods of Fu and Yau, we obtain $C^0$, $C^2$ and $C^{2,α}$ a priori estimates. …

This survey was written for the Current Developments in Mathematics conference, 2012, and is an updating of my article "The Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture: From torus fibrations to degenerations," in the Seattle 2005 proceedings. We trace progress and thinking about the SYZ conjecture since its introduction in 1996. …
