Gauged Linear Sigma Models for toroidal orbifold resolutions
Michael Blaszczyk, Stefan Groot Nibbelink, Fabian Ruehle
Toroidal orbifolds and their resolutions are described within the framework of (2,2) Gauged Linear Sigma Models (GLSMs). Our procedure describes two-tori as hypersurfaces in (weigh…
A perfect match of MSSM-like orbifold and resolution models via anomalies
Michael Blaszczyk, Nana Geraldine Cabo Bizet, Hans Peter Nilles +1
Compactification of the heterotic string on toroidal orbifolds is a promising set-up for the construction of realistic unified models of particle physics. The target space dynamics…
Green-Schwarz Mechanism in Heterotic (2,0) Gauged Linear Sigma Models: Torsion and NS5 Branes
Michael Blaszczyk, Stefan Groot Nibbelink, Fabian Ruehle
Heterotic string compactifications can be conveniently described in the language of (2,0) gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs). Such models allow for Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI)-terms, whi…
