Type I Vacua from Diagonal $Z_3$-Orbifolds

Abstract

We discuss the open descendants of diagonal irrational $Z_3$ orbifolds, starting from the $c=2$ case and analyzing six-dimensional and four-dimensional models. As recently argued, their consistency is linked to the presence of geometric discrete moduli. The different classes of open descendants, related to different resolutions of the fixed-point ambiguities, are distinguished by the number of geometric fixed points surviving the unoriented projection.
