Asymmetric Orbifolds, Rank Reduction and Heterotic Islands
Gerardo Aldazabal, Eduardo Andrés, Anamaría Font +2
We consider toroidal asymmetric orbifolds of the heterotic string preserving all 16 supercharges, developing a general formalism to study components of the moduli space characteriz…

D=4,N=1, Type IIB Orientifolds
G. Aldazabal, A. Font, L. E. Ibanez +1
We study different aspects of the construction of D=4, N=1 type IIB orientifolds based on toroidal Z_N and Z_M x Z_N, D=4 orbifolds. We find that tadpole cancellation conditions ar…

Building GUTs from strings
G. Aldazabal, A. Font, L. E. Ibanez +1
We study in detail the structure of Grand Unified Theories derived as the low-energy limit of orbifold four-dimensional strings. To this aim, new techniques for building level-two…
