Heterotic String Theory with Background Fluxes

Abstract

We discuss compactifications of the heterotic string in the presence of background fluxes. Specifically we consider compactifications on T6, T5, K3 x T2 and K3 x S1 for which we derive the bosonic sector of the low energy effective action. The consistency with the corresponding gauged supergravities is demonstrated.
