A Note on the Geometry of CHL Heterotic Strings

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-11-19 v1

Abstract

We present a few remarks on disconnected components of the moduli space of heterotic string compactifications on T2T_2. We show in particular how the eight dimensional CHL heterotic string can be understood in terms of topologically non-trivial E8×E8E_8\times E_8 and \Spin(32)/Z2\Spin(32)/Z_2 vector bundles over the torus, and that the respective moduli spaces coincide.
