Standard Model bundles of the heterotic string
We show how to construct supersymmetric three-generation models with gauge group and matter content of the Standard Model in the framework of non-simplyconnected elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds Z. The elliptic fibration on a cover Calabi-Yau, where the model has 6 generations of SU(5) and the bundle is given via the spectral cover description, has a second section leading to the neede...
متن کاملFluxes in Heterotic and Type II String Compactifications
In this paper we consider heterotic compactifications on K3 × T as well as type II compactifications on K3-fibred Calabi-Yau spaces with certain fluxes for the gauge and RR field strengths F and H turned on. By providing an identification of corresponding fluxes we show that the well-known N = 2 heterotic/type II string-string duality still holds for a subset of all possible fluxes, namely thos...
متن کاملThreshold Corrections in K3× T2 Heterotic String Compactifications
Abstract We consider compactifications of the heterotic string on K3×T2 so that the resulting theory in d = 4 space-time dimensions has N = 2 supersymmetry. The gravitational and gauge coupling constants of the low-energy effective theory receive threshold corrections from loops of super-heavy string states. We calculate these corrections for the case when the K3-surface is a Zn orbifold of a f...
متن کاملBPS Action and Superpotential for Heterotic String Compactifications with Fluxes
We consider N = 1 compactifications to four dimensions of heterotic string theory in the presence of fluxes. We show that up to order O (α) the associated action can be written as a sum of squares of BPS-like quantities. In this way we prove that the equations of motion are solved by backgrounds which fulfill the supersymmetry conditions and the Bianchi identities. We also argue for the express...
متن کاملHeterotic String Compactifications on Half-flat Manifolds II
In this paper, we continue the analysis of heterotic string compactifications on half-flat mirror manifolds by including the 10-dimensional gauge fields. It is argued, that the heterotic Bianchi identity is solved by a variant of the standard embedding. Then, the resulting gauge group in four dimensions is still E6 despite the fact that the Levi-Civita connection has SO(6) holonomy. We derive t...
