Type II string theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds with torsion and non-Abelian discrete gauge symmetries

Abstract We provide the first explicit example of Type IIB string theory compactification on a globally defined Calabi-Yau threefold with torsion which results in a four-dimensional effective theory with a non-Abelian discrete gauge symmetry. Our example is based on a particular Calabi-Yau manifold,...
