(0,2) String Compactifications: The Higgs Mechanism
Fermin Aldabe
Abstract
We present the Higgs mechanism in (0,2) compactifications. The existence of a vector bundle data duality (VBDD) in (0,2) compactifications which is present at the Landau-Ginzburg point allows us to connect in a smooth manner theories with different gauge groups with the same base manifold and same number of effective generations. As we move along the Kahler moduli space of the theories with E6 gauge group, some of the gauginos pick up masses and break the gauge group to SO(10) or SU(5).
