This paper is devoted to the study of the Cauchy problem in$C$^{∞}and in the Gevrey classes for some second order degenerate hyperbolic equations with time dependent coefficients and lower order terms satisfying a suitable Levi condition.
The purpose of this paper is to solve a problem posed by Strominger in constructing smooth models of superstring theory with flux. These are given by non-Khler manifolds with torsion.
