Abstract
We study the effect of flux-induced isometry gauging of the scalar manifold in N = 2 heterotic string compactification with gauge fluxes. We show that a vanishing theorem by Witten provides the protection mechanism. The other ungauged isometries in hyper-moduli space could also be protected, depending on the gauge bundle structure. We also discuss the related issue in IIB setting. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
