From Free-Fermionic Constructions to Orbifolds and Back

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-10-17 v1

Abstract

We systematically develop the explicit map between string vacua constructed in the Free Fermionic Formulation and their Z2N\mathbb{Z}_2^N toroidal orbifold counterparts. We illustrate the map in various example classes of models, including cases relevant for string phenomenology, as well as in theories where space-time supersymmetry is broken by the stringy Scherk-Schwarz mechanism.
