Flat equivariant gerbes: holonomies and dualities

Abstract We examine the role of global topological data associated to choices of holonomy for flat gauge fields in string compactification. Our study begins with perturbative string compactification on compact flat manifolds preserving 8 supercharges in 5 dimensions. By including non-trivial holonom...
