BPS-like potential for compactifications of heterotic M-theory?
Johannes Held
We analyze the possibility to rewrite the action of Horava-Witten theory in a BPS-like form, which means that it is given as a sum of squares of the supersymmetry conditions. To th…
DWSB for heterotic flux compactifications
Johannes Held
We investigate the construction of non-supersymmetric vacua in compactifications of heterotic string theory with intrinsic torsion and background fluxes. We do this by using the te…
DWSB in heterotic flux compactifications
Johannes Held, Dieter Lust, Fernando Marchesano +1
We address the construction of non-supersymmetric vacua in heterotic compactifications with intrinsic torsion and background fluxes. In particular, we implement the approach of dom…
Heterotic Z6-II MSSM Orbifolds in Blowup
Stefan Groot Nibbelink, Johannes Held, Fabian Ruehle +2
Heterotic orbifolds provide promising constructions of MSSM-like models in string theory. We investigate the connection of such orbifold models with smooth Calabi-Yau compactificat…
