Description
Heterotic orbifold models are promising candidates for models with
MSSM like spectra. But orbifolds only correspond to a special place in
moduli space, the bigger picture is described by the moduli space of
Calabi-Yau spaces. In this talk we will make explicit connections
between both pictures. To this end we study blowups of orbifold
singularities, to this end we use both explicit constructions and
toric geometry techniques. We show that matching of all orbifold
models in blowups are possible.
