Abstract: The study of curved D-brane geometries in type II strings implies a general relation between local singularities $cxW$ of Calabi-Yau manifolds and gravity free supersymmetric QFT's. The minimal supersymmetric case is described by F-theory compactifications on $cxW$ and can be used as a starting point to define minimal supersymmetric heterotic string compactifications on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds with holomorphic, stable gauge backgrounds. The geometric construction generalizes to non-perturbative vacua with five-branes and provides a framework to study non-perturbative dynamics of the heterotic theory.
