Demystifying stringy miracles with eclectic flavor symmetries
V. Knapp-Perez, Xiang-Gan Liu, Hans Peter Nilles +1
Effective field theories arising from string compactifications are subject to constraints originating from the duality transformations of string theory. Interpreting these so-calle…

Flavor Symmetries and Winding Modes
Xueqi Li, Xiang-Gan Liu, Hans Peter Nilles +2
Modular flavor symmetries have been proposed as a new way to address the flavor problem. It is known that they can emerge from string compactifications. We discuss this connection…

The eclectic flavor symmetries of orbifolds
Alexander Baur, Hans Peter Nilles, Saul Ramos-Sanchez +2
Only four orbifold building blocks are admissible in heterotic string compactifications. We investigate the flavor properties of all of these building b…
