## Abstract These lectures give an introduction to the novel duality relating type IIB string theory in a maximally supersymmetric plane‐wave background to 𝒩 = 4, __d__ = 4, __U__(__N__) super Yang‐Mills theory in a particular large __N__ and large R‐charge limit due to Berenstein, Maldacena and Na
## Abstract We discuss compactifications of heterotic string theory to four dimensions in the presence of __H__–fluxes, which deform the geometry of the internal manifold, and a gaugino condensate which breaks supersymmetry. We focus on the compensation of the two effects in order to obtain vacua w
