Abstract

We summarize an explicit construction of a duality cycle for geometric transitions in type II and heterotic theories. We emphasize that the manifolds with torsion constructed with this duality cycle are crucial for understanding different phenomena appearing in effective field theories.

## Abstract This article is based on the publications [1–3] and the author's PhD‐thesis. We study geometric transitions on the supergravity level using the basic idea of [1], where a pair of non‐Kähler backgrounds was constructed, which are related by a geometric transition. Here we embed this idea

## Abstract In this note, we review our construction of de Sitter vacua in type IIB flux compactifications, in which moduli stabilization and D‐term uplifting can be combined consistently with the supergravity constraints. Here, the closed string fluxes fix the dilaton and the complex structure mod

## 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

## Abstract We discuss marginal deformations of string vacua with Massive boson‐fermion Degeneracy Symmetry (MSDS), in connection to the cosmological evolution of the Universe from an early non‐geometrical era. In particular, we discuss recent results on the stringy mechanism that resolves both Hag

The vibration of an axially moving string is studied when the string has geometric non-linearity and translating acceleration. Based upon the von Karman strain theory, the equations of motion are derived considering the longitudinal and transverse de#ections. The equation for the longitudinal vibrat
