Description

As recently shown, heterotic string compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds admit multiple anomalous U(1)s if the gauge background consists of several unitary bundles. Constructions of this type (including 5-branes also) considerably amplify the (standard) model building options on the one hand, and U(1) bundles reproduce (blow-ups of) heterotic Abelian orbifold models on the other hand.
