SUMMARY:Ubiquity of non-geometry in heterotic string compactifications
 \, Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)\, Stefano Massai\, Universit
 y of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:I will address the problem of classifying supersymmetric s
 tring compactifications in regions of moduli space where the supergrav
 ity approximation breaks down. I will show evidence that\, in the hete
 rotic string\, quantum effects generically turns a Calabi-Yau manifold
  into a T-fold\, a non-geometric space defined by T-duality transition
  functions. I will describe a non-geometric version of ADE singulariti
 es\, and show a full classification of the six-dimensional super-confo
 rmal field theories that describe the low energy physics on such defec
 ts.
