Abstract

We derive the conditions for the one-loop contribution to the cosmological constant to be exponentially suppressed in a class of heterotic string compactifications with three generations of chiral matter, where supersymmetry is spontaneously broken \`a la Scherk-Schwarz. Using techniques of partial unfolding based on the Hecke congruence subgroup Γ0(2)\Gamma_0(2) of the modular group to extract the leading asymptotics, we show that the super no-scale condition nB=nFn_B=n_F between the degeneracies of massless bosons nBn_B and fermions nFn_F in the full string spectrum is necessary but not sufficient, and needs to be supplemented by additional conditions which we identify. We use these results to construct three-generation Pati-Salam models with interesting phenomenological characteristics.
