Discrete Torsion in Perturbative Heterotic String Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

In this paper we analyze discrete torsion in perturbative heterotic string theory. In previous work we have given a purely mathematical explanation of discrete torsion as the choice of orbifold group action on a B field, in the case that d H = 0; in this paper, we perform the analogous calculations in heterotic strings where d H is nonzero.
