Non-tachyonic open descendants of the 0B string theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We use the crosscap constraint to construct open descendants of the 0B string compactified on T6/Z3T^6 /Z_3 and on T4/Z2T^4/Z_2 free of tachyons both in the closed and in the open unoriented sectors. In four dimensions the construction results in a Chan-Paton gauge group U(8)U(12)U(12)U(8)\otimes U(12)\otimes U(12) with three generations of chiral fermions in the representations (8,1,12)+(8,12,1)+(1,66,1)+(1,1,66)(\overline{8},1,\overline{12}) +(8,12,1)+(1,\overline{66},1)+(1,1,66).
