Can the Axions of Standard--like Superstring Models Solve the Strong CP Problem?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v2

Abstract

We find that there are three axions in standard--like superstring models in the four dimensional free fermionic formulation. These axions are either harmful or very heavy. Therefore, they cannot solve the strong CP problem. We show that this is a general result in superstring models with chiral generations from the Z2Z_2 twisted sectors which use a Z4Z_4 twist.
