Addendum to Reconciling Grand Unification with Strings by Anisotropic Compactifications
Ben Dundee, Stuart Raby, Akin Wingerter
In a recent paper, by working in the orbifold GUT limit of the Heterotic string, we showed how one could accommodate gauge coupling unification in the "mini-landscape" models of Le…
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…
The Heterotic Road to the MSSM with R parity
Oleg Lebedev, Hans Peter Nilles, Stuart Raby +4
In a previous paper, referred to as a "Mini-Landscape" search, we explored a "fertile patch" of the heterotic landscape based on a Z6-II orbifold with SO(10) and E6 local GUT struc…
Can String Theory Predict the Weinberg Angle?
S. Raby, A. Wingerter
We investigate whether the hypercharge assignments in the Standard Model can be interpreted as a hint at Grand Unification in the context of heterotic string theory. To this end, w…
A Mini-Landscape of Exact MSSM Spectra in Heterotic Orbifolds
Oleg Lebedev, Hans Peter Nilles, Stuart Raby +4
We explore a ``fertile patch'' of the heterotic landscape based on a Z_6-II orbifold with SO(10) and E_6 local GUT structures. We search for models allowing for the exact MSSM spec…
Low Energy Supersymmetry from the Heterotic Landscape
Oleg Lebedev, Hans-Peter Nilles, Stuart Raby +4
We study possible correlations between properties of the observable and hidden sectors in heterotic string theory. Specifically, we analyze the case of the Z6-II orbifold compactif…
