Non-Abelian Brane Worlds: The Open String Story
Ralph Blumenhagen, Gabriele Honecker, Timo Weigand
We extend the string model building rules for the construction of chiral supersymmetric Type I compactifications on smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds. These models contain stacks of D9-b…
Non-Abelian Brane Worlds: The Heterotic String Story
Ralph Blumenhagen, Gabriele Honecker, Timo Weigand
We discuss chiral supersymmetric compactifications of the SO(32) heterotic string on Calabi-Yau manifolds equipped with direct sums of stable bundles with structure group U(n). In…
One in a Billion: MSSM-like D-Brane Statistics
Florian Gmeiner, Ralph Blumenhagen, Gabriele Honecker +2
Continuing our recent work hep-th/0411173, we study the statistics of four-dimensional, supersymmetric intersecting D-brane models in a toroidal orientifold background. We have per…
Supersymmetric (non-)Abelian Bundles in the Type I and SO(32) Heterotic String
Ralph Blumenhagen, Gabriele Honecker, Timo Weigand
We discuss perturbative four-dimensional compactifications of both the SO(32) heterotic and the Type I string on smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds endowed with general non-abelian and ab…
Loop-Corrected Compactifications of the Heterotic String with Line Bundles
Ralph Blumenhagen, Gabriele Honecker, Timo Weigand
We consider the E8 x E8 heterotic string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds with bundles containing abelian factors in their structure group. Generic low energy consequenc…
