Six dimensional homogeneous spaces with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle

We classify all the $6$-dimensional unimodular Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$ admitting a complex structure with non-zero closed $(3,0)$-form. This gives rise to $6$-dimensional compact homogeneous spaces $M=\Gamma\backslash G$, where $\Gamma$ is a lattice, admitting an invariant complex structure with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle. As an application, in the balanced Hermitian case, we study the instanton condition for any metric connection $\nabla^{\varepsilon,\rho}$ in the plane generated by the Levi-Civita connection and the Gauduchon line of Hermitian connections. In the setting of the Hull-Strominger system with connection on the tangent bundle being Hermitian-Yang-Mills, we prove that if a compact non-K\"ahler homogeneous space $M=\Gamma\backslash G$ admits an invariant solution with respect to some non-flat connection $\nabla$ in the family $\nabla^{\varepsilon,\rho}$, then $M$ is a nilmanifold with underlying Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}_3$, a solvmanifold with underlying algebra $\mathfrak{g}_7$, or a quotient of the semisimple group SL(2,$\mathbb{C}$). Since it is known that the system can be solved on these spaces, our result implies that they are the unique compact non-K\"ahler balanced homogeneous spaces admitting such invariant solutions. As another application, on the compact solvmanifold underlying the Nakamura manifold, we construct solutions, on any given balanced Bott-Chern class, to the heterotic equations of motion taking the Chern connection as (flat) instanton.

Invariant solutions to the Strominger system and the heterotic equations of motion

We construct many new invariant solutions to the Strominger system with respect to a 2-parameter family of metric connections $\nabla^{\varepsilon,ρ}$ in the anomaly cancellation equation. The ansatz $\nabla^{\varepsilon,ρ}$ is a natural extension of the canonical 1-parameter family of Hermitian connections found by Gauduchon, as one recovers the Chern connection $\nabla^{c}$ for $({\varepsilon,ρ})=(0,\frac12)$, and the Bismut connection $\nabla^{+}$ for $({\varepsilon,ρ})=(\frac12,0)$. In particular, explicit invariant solutions to the Strominger system with respect to the Chern connection, with non-flat instanton and positive $α'$ are obtained. Furthermore, we give invariant solutions to the heterotic equations of motion with respect to the Bismut connection. Our solutions live on three different compact non-Kähler homogeneous spaces, obtained as the quotient by a lattice of maximal rank of a nilpotent Lie group, the semisimple group SL(2,$\mathbb{C}$) and a solvable Lie group. To our knowledge, these are the only known invariant solutions to the heterotic equations of motion, and we conjecture that there is no other such homogeneous space admitting an invariant solution to the heterotic equations of motion with respect to a connection in the ansatz $\nabla^{\varepsilon,ρ}$.
