Abstract
We construct more dual pairs of type II heterotic strings in four dimensions with N = 2,1 spacetime supersymmetry. On the type II side the construction utilizes the various possible choices of K3 automorphisms with fixed points which transform the holomorphic two-form nontrivially, and rotation plus translation on T2. The Calabi-Yau orbifolds so obtained have non-zero Euler numbers, so quantum corrections exist on the type IIA strings. The heterotic string (asymmetric) orbifold duals are found which depend on going to the enhanced symmetry points. Some aspects of the construction are discussed including the role of the singularity and the possibility of going beyond the adiabatic argument. Many of these examples have also orientifold analogs.
