Non-supersymmetric non-tachyonic heterotic vacua with reduced rank in various dimensions
Carlo Angelantonj, Ioannis Florakis, Giorgio Leone +1
We construct rigid non-supersymmetric heterotic vacua with reduced rank and no tachyons in six and four dimensions. These configurations are based on asymmetric orbifold compactifi…

Free Fermionic Constructions of Heterotic Strings
Ioannis Florakis, John Rizos
This chapter is an introduction to the Free Fermionic Formulation of String Theory, with emphasis on heterotic model building. After a brief review of bosonization in two dimension…

A Lightning Introduction to String Theory
Carlo Angelantonj, Ioannis Florakis
We give a lightning introduction to critical string theory, including the 26-dimensional bosonic string, the 10-dimensional superstrings and heterotic strings with and without spac…
