On the spectrum of (2,2) compactification of the heterotic string on conformal field theories
Description
We study (2, 2) compactifications of the heterotic string by tensoring the degenerate N=2 superconformal series. We recently constructed all models with c=9 that preserve N=1 spacetime supersymmetry. Here we extend this analysis by investigating the spectrum of our models. The number of generations and anti-generations is calculated and we comment on the conjectured relation between these conformal field theories and Calabi-Yau compactifications. (orig.)
