(MS)SM-like models on smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds from all three heterotic string theories
Stefan Groot Nibbelink, Orestis Loukas, Fabian Ruehle
We perform model searches on smooth Calabi-Yau compactifications for both the supersymmetric E8xE8 and SO(32) as well as for the non-supersymmetric SO(16)xSO(16) heterotic strings…
Split symmetries
Wilfried Buchmuller, Markus Dierigl, Fabian Ruehle +1
We consider six-dimensional supergravity with gauge group , compactified on the orbifold . Three quark-lepton generations arise as zero mod…
Calabi-Yau compactifications of non-supersymmetric heterotic string theory
Michael Blaszczyk, Stefan Groot Nibbelink, Orestis Loukas +1
Phenomenological explorations of heterotic strings have conventionally focused primarily on the E8xE8 theory. We consider smooth compactifications of all three ten-dimensional hete…
Vacuum energy sequestering and conformal symmetry
Ido Ben-Dayan, Robert Richter, Fabian Ruehle +1
In a series of recent papers Kaloper and Padilla proposed a mechanism to sequester standard model vacuum contributions to the cosmological constant. We study the consequences of em…
Infinite number of MSSMs from heterotic line bundles?
Stefan Groot Nibbelink, Orestis Loukas, Fabian Ruehle +1
We consider heterotic E8xE8 supergravity compactified on smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds with line bundle gauge backgrounds. Infinite sets of models that satisfy the Bianchi identities…
Chiral fermions and anomaly cancellation on orbifolds with Wilson lines and flux
Wilfried Buchmuller, Markus Dierigl, Fabian Ruehle +1
We consider six-dimensional supergravity compactified on orbifolds with Wilson lines and bulk flux. Torus Wilson lines are decomposed into Wilson lines around the orbifold fixed po…
Natural inflation and moduli stabilization in heterotic orbifolds
Fabian Ruehle, Clemens Wieck
We study moduli stabilization in combination with inflation in heterotic orbifold compactifications in the light of a large Hubble scale and the favored tensor-to-scalar ratio $r \…
