Abstract
We obtain a rigidity result for compact three-dimensional Heterotic solitons with parallel non-trivial torsion. We show that they are either hyperbolic three-manifolds or compact quotients of the Heisenberg group equipped with a left-invariant metric. In particular, the latter arise both as solitons with completely skew-symmetric torsion as well as with non-vanishing twistorial component. As a corollary, we obtain the universal bound for the scalar curvature of Heterotic solitons with parallel skew-symmetric torsion, which prevents it from being arbitrarily large.
