NS5-branes and line bundles in heterotic/F-theory duality

We study F-theory duals of heterotic line bundle models on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds. These models necessarily contain NS5-branes which are geometrized in the dual F-theory compactifications. We initiate a systematic study of the correspondence between various configurations of NS5-...
