Abstract
We study Minkowski supersymmetric flux vacua of type II string theory. Based on the work by M. Graña, R. Minasian, M. Petrini and A. Tomasiello, we briefly explain how to reformulate things in terms of Generalized Complex Geometry, which appears to be a natural framework for these compactifications. In particular, it provides a mathematical characterization of the internal manifold, and one is then able to find new solutions, which cannot be constructed as usual via T‐dualities from a warped T^6^ solut ion. Furthermore, we discuss how, thanks to a specific change of variables, one can ease the resolution of the orientifold projection constraints pointed out by P. Koerber and D. Tsimpis. One is then able to find new solutions with intermediate SU(2) structure. This contribution is mainly based on references [1] and [2]. Due to size constraints, several details and some citations are missing. For completeness, please have a look at [1].
