TLDR
In this article, a general class of T3-fibered geometries admitting SU(3) structure was considered, and an exchange of pure spinors (eiJ and Ω) was found in dual geometry under fiberwise T-duality, and the transformations of the NS flux and the components of intrinsic torsion.Abstract:
When string theory is compactified on a six-dimensional manifold with a nontrivial NS flux turned on, mirror symmetry exchanges the flux with a purely geometrical composite NS form associated with lack of integrability of the complex structure on the mirror side. Considering a general class of T3-fibered geometries admitting SU(3) structure, we find an exchange of pure spinors (eiJ and Ω) in dual geometries under fiberwise T–duality, and study the transformations of the NS flux and the components of intrinsic torsion. A complementary study of action of twisted covariant derivatives on invariant spinors allows to extend our results to generic geometries and formulate a proposal for mirror symmetry in compactifications with NS flux.read more

A geometry for non-geometric string backgrounds
TL;DR: In this article, a T-fold background with a local $n$-torus fibration and T-duality transition functions in O(n,n:\Z) space is formulated in an enlarged space with a $T^{2n}$ fibration which is geometric, with spacetime emerging locally from a choice of a Ωn$ submanifold of each fiber, so that it is embedded in the enlarged space.

Nongeometric flux compactifications
TL;DR: In this article, a simple class of type-II string compactifications which incorporate nongeometric ''fluxes'' in addition to ''geometric flux'' and the usual H-field and R-R fluxes are investigated.

Generalized structures of N=1 vacua

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize = 1 vacua of type-II theories in terms of generalized complex structure on the internal manifold M. The conditions for preserving = 1 supersymmetry turn out to be simple generalizations of equations that have appeared in the context of = 2 and topological strings.

Mirror symmetry is T duality
TL;DR: In this paper, it was argued that every Calabi-Yau manifold X with a mirror Y admits a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles and that the moduli space of such cycles together with their flat connections is precisely the space Y.

Compact Manifolds with Special Holonomy
TL;DR: The first known examples of these manifolds were discovered by the author in 1993-5 as mentioned in this paper, and much previously unpublished material which significantly improves the original constructions was presented in this book.

Superstrings and topological strings at large N
TL;DR: In this paper, the Chern-Simons/topological string duality in ordinary superstrings was shown to hold for generalized gauge systems with N=1 supersymmetry in four dimensions and superstrings propagating on noncompact Calabi-Yau manifolds with certain fluxes turned on.
