## Abstract Within the context of the __E__~8~ × __E__~8~ heterotic superstring compactified on a smooth Calabi‐Yau threefold with an __SU__(4) gauge instanton, we show the existence of simple, realistic __N__ = 1 supersymmetric vacua that are compatible with low energy particle physics. The observ

Abstract
In this talk I will present a class of heterotic string theory compactifications which lead to four dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric vacua with standard model gauge group SU(3)~C~ × SU(2)~L~ × U(1)~Y~. I will compute their massless particle spectrum and show that it contains precisely three families of quarks and leptons and a certain number of SU(2) Higgs doublets.

## Abstract We report on some recent progress in understanding heterotic flux compactifications, from a worldsheet perspective mainly. We consider local models consisting in torus fibration over warped Eguchi‐Hanson space and non‐Kähler resolved conifold geometries. We analyze the supergravity solu
## Abstract An overview of old and new results in studies of the quasi‐realistic free fermionic models is presented, which include the recent discovery of exophobic string vacua and reproduction of the Higgs‐matter splitting mechanism in a corresponding orbifold construction.
## Abstract We report on the construction of four‐dimensional string vacua by considering general abelian and non‐abelian bundles on an internal Calabi‐Yau for both heterotic theories. The structure of the resulting gauge sector is extremely rich and gives rise to many new model building possibilit
