Hull-Strominger Systems and Geometric Flows
The Hull-Strominger system is a system of partial differential equations stemming from heterotic string theory in physics. Mathematically, these equations lead us to consider special structures with torsion and have been proposed as a natural generalization of the Ricci-flat condition on non-Kahler Calabi-Yau threefolds. In this talk, we discuss a geometric flow approach to the system, known as the anomaly flow. We shall also look at 7-dimensional analogues of the system and flow.
