A Note on Moduli Stabilisation in Heterotic Models in the Presence of Matter Fields

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-04-02 v2

Abstract

In this brief note we analyse a toy model which can be derived from heterotic string compactifications on half-flat manifolds with SU(3) structure at first order in \alpha' (ie including matter fields). We show that for this model, finding solutions with viable gauge group poses the same problems as finding solutions in the absence of matter fields.
