Nongeometric heterotic strings and dual F-theory with enhanced gauge groups

Abstract Eight-dimensional nongeometric heterotic strings were constructed as duals of F-theory on Λ1,1 ⊕ E 8 ⊕ E 7 lattice polarized K3 surfaces by Malmendier and Morrison. We study the structure of the moduli space of this construction. There are special points in this space at which the ranks of...
