Title:
Non-Kahler heterotic geometry

Speaker:
Sebastien Picard

Abstract:
We will survey various constructions of non-Kahler solutions to the heterotic system. The system generalizes Calabi-Yau metrics to non-Kahler complex threefolds with trivial canonical bundle. Solutions broadly fall into three categories: Lie groups with symmetry, torus fibrations, and perturbations of Kahler solutions. We will also discuss connections to Yau’s conjecture on non-Kahler conifold transitions.
