Abstract

In this lecture I review recent progress on construction of manifolds with exceptional holonomy and their application in string theory and M‐theory.

## Abstract At the leading order, M‐theory admits minimal supersymmetric compactifications if the internal manifold has exceptional holonomy. The inclusion of non‐vanishing fluxes in M‐theory and string theory compactifications induce a superpotential in the lower dimensional theory, which depends

## 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
