Abstract

We verify by an explicit perturbative calculation arguments presented recently concerning the existence of compactified solutions of superstring theory in which the spin connection is not embedded in the gauge group in the standard way but the gauge connection is a connection on a more general holomorphic vector bundle over a manifold of SU(3) holonomy.
