Description
We construct some new examples of torsional heterotic backgrounds using duality with orientifold flux compactifications. We then explain how duality provides a solution to the heterotic string Bianchi identity which is an equation of Monge-Ampere type. Finally, we propose the existence of a much larger class of compact torsional geometries based on intuition from string duality.
