Yau's conjecture on the Strominger system through conifold transitions
Yau's conjecture on the Strominger system through conifold transitions
Let be a Calabi–Yau threefold, and let
be a conifold transition. Let denote the holomorphic volume form, Hermitian form, and bundle metric involved in the Strominger system, and let and be the corresponding curvatures. Yau's conjecture. For small enough , there exists a triple solving the supersymmetry equations
and the heterotic Bianchi identity
where is the Chern curvature of and . This is the conjectural completion of the authors' construction of solutions to the supersymmetry equations through conifold transitions; the additional Bianchi identity is required for the heterotic string equations and had not yet been solved through conifold transitions in the source.
