Abstract

A family of heterotic compactifications carries more structure than a collection of solutions parametrised by moduli. Once the compactification data are fibred over moduli space, deformations become components of universal curvatures. This note reviews that organisation and explains how it incorporates the $\alpha'^2$ supersymmetry corrections.
