Asymmetric CFTs and GSUGRA

Abstract

Recent progress on the relation between asymmetric conformal field theories and vacua of gauged supergravities is reviewed. This includes an attempt to classify asymmetric Gepner models in 8D, 6D and 4D with at least eight supercharges, and how they can be categorized by just a few mechanisms including the super Higgs-effect. The latter is a prerequisite for the identification with non-geometric flux compactifications. We also highlight our findings for the identification of 4D asymmetric Gepner models with N=1{\cal N}=1 supersymmetry with Minkowski vacua of N=2{\cal N}=2 GSUGRA.
