Abstract

We find a curious duality between the bosonic sector of heterotic supergravity and the noncritical bosonic string with conformal anomaly. This allows us to map the Mink4×S3×S3_4\times S^3\times S^3 vacuum of the bosonic string to a new warped R×(T1,1×\mathbb R\times (T^{1,1}\timesMink4)_4) vacuum of the heterotic theory, which turns out to be supersymmetric, preserving 1/41/4 of the supersymmetry. We perform consistent dimensional reduction of the heterotic theory on the warped R×T1,1\mathbb R\times T^{1,1} internal space and obtain N=1{\cal N}=1, D=4D=4 supergravity, with one complex scalar multiplet and SU(2)×SU(2)SU(2)\times SU(2) Yang-Mills multiplets, where the gauge symmetry is originated from the isometry group of T1,1T^{1,1}.
