Description
I summarize an explicit construction of a duality cycle for
geometric transitions in type II and heterotic theories. We
emphasize that the manifolds with torsion constructed with this
duality cycle are crucial for understanding different phenomena
appearing in effective field theories, as confinement and chiral symmetry
breaking.
