T-Branes and Geometry
Lara B. Anderson, Jonathan J. Heckman, Sheldon Katz
T-branes are a non-abelian generalization of intersecting branes in which the matrix of normal deformations is nilpotent along some subspace. In this paper we study the geometric r…
A Comprehensive Scan for Heterotic SU(5) GUT models
Lara B. Anderson, Andrei Constantin, James Gray +2
Compactifications of heterotic theories on smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds remains one of the most promising approaches to string phenomenology. In two previous papers, http://arXiv.or…
General aspects of heterotic string compactifications on stacks and gerbes
L. B. Anderson, B. Jia, R. Manion +2
In this paper we work out some basic results concerning heterotic string compactifications on stacks and, in particular, gerbes. A heterotic string compactification on a gerbe can…
Vacuum Varieties, Holomorphic Bundles and Complex Structure Stabilization in Heterotic Theories
Lara B. Anderson, James Gray, Andre Lukas +1
We discuss the use of gauge fields to stabilize complex structure moduli in Calabi-Yau three-fold compactifications of heterotic string and M-theory. The requirement that the gauge…
