    • U-manifolds 

      Kumar, Alok; Vafa, Cumrun (Elsevier, 1997)
      We use non-perturbative U-duality symmetries of type II strings to construct new vacuum solutions. In some ways this generalizes the F-theory vacuum constructions. We find the possibilities of new vacuum constructions are ...
