Properties of heterotic vacua from superpotentials Original Research Article

We study the superpotential for the heterotic string compactified on non-Kähler complex manifolds. We show that many of the geometrical properties of these manifolds can be understood from the proposed superpotential. In particular we give an estimate of the radial modulus of these manifolds. We also show, how the torsional constraints can be obtained from this superpotential.
