Non-perturbative Effects in Heterotic String Compactifications

 


Abstract:

Using the insights from the study of higher genus topological string amplitudes encoding the number of BPS states in N=2 string compactifications to four dimensions, we present new non-perturbative aspects of the type II-heterotic string duality.
