Type-I vacua from non-geometric Orbifolds

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

Some examples of Type-I vacua related to non geometric orbifolds are shown. In particular, the open descendants of the diagonal Z3Z_3 orbifold are compared with the geometric ones. Although not chiral, these models exhibit some interesting properties, like twisted sectors in the open-string spectra and the presence of ``quantized'' geometric moduli, a key ingredient to ensure their perturbative consistency and to explain the rank reduction of their Chan-Paton groups.
