Description

There are results that suggest a connection between gauged maximal supergravities and asymmetric toroidal orbifolds. By looking at several examples we argue that a similar relationship exists between 4D N=2 gauged supergravities and asymmetric Gepner models. Going further we conjecture that the asymmetric CFTs we construct are the fully backreacted string uplifts of N=1 Minkowski vacua in a N=2 gauged supergravity. More evidence for the correspondence is provided by a classification of asymmetric Gepner models with extended supersymmetry.
