D=6, N=1 string vacua and duality
Description
We review the structure D=6, N=1 string vacua with emphasis on the different connections due to T-dualities and S-dualities. The topics discussed include: Anomaly cancellation; K3 and orbifold D=6, N=1 heterotic compactifications; T-dualities between E8 X E8 and Spin(32)/Z2 heterotic vacua; non-perturbative heterotic vacua and instantons; N=2 Type-II/Heterotic duality in D=4; F-theory/heterotic duality in D=6; and heterotic/heterotic duality in six and four dimensions.
