| I will give an introduction to how SU(3)-structures appear in heterotic string theory and string compactifications. I will start by considering the zeroth order SU(3)-holonomy Calabi-Yau scenario, and then see how this generalizes when higher order effects are considered. If time, I will discuss some of my own work. | |||
