Strings on Orbifolds

Heterotic string possesses very rich symmetries. It naturally describes SO(32) and E8 ×E8 gauge group, by uniform charge on the closed string. Also it has sixteen real (\(\mathscr {N}=4\) in four dimension) supersymmetries. We would say that it also has e

The Lecture Notes in Physics The series Lecture Notes in Physics (LNP), founded in 1969, reports new developments in physics research and teaching - quickly and informally, but with a high quality and the explicit aim to summarize and communicate current knowledge in an accessible way. Books published in this series are conceived as bridging material between advanced graduate textbooks and the forefront of research and to serve three purposes: • to be a compact and modern up-to-date source of reference on a well-defined topic; • to serve as an accessible introduction to the field to postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers from related areas; • to be a source of advanced teaching material for specialized seminars, courses and schools. Both monographs and multi-author volumes will be considered for publication. Edited volumes should however consist of a very limited number of contributions only. Proceedings will not be considered for LNP. Volumes published in LNP are disseminated both in print and in electronic formats, the electronic archive being available at springerlink.com. The series content is indexed, abstracted and referenced by many abstracting and information services, bibliographic networks, subscription agencies, library networks, and consortia. Proposals should be sent to a member of the Editorial Board, or directly to the responsible editor at Springer: Dr Lisa Scalone Springer Nature Physics Tiergartenstrasse 17 69121 Heidelberg, Germany [email protected]
