On the string coupling in a class of stringy orbifold GUTs
Ben Dundee, Stuart Raby
In this short note, we examine the relationship between the string coupling constant, $\gstring{}$, and the grand unified gauge coupling constant, $\alphagut{}$, in a highly succes…

Reconciling Grand Unification with Strings by Anisotropic Compactifications
Ben Dundee, Stuart Raby, Akin Wingerter
We analyze gauge coupling unification in the context of heterotic strings on anisotropic orbifolds. This construction is very much analogous to effective 5 dimensional orbifold GUT…
