Description

Vector bundles made from sums of line bundles have proven to be a particularly fruitful region of the heterotic string landscape, with tens of thousands of models having the exact particle spectrum of the MSSM. A salient feature of these models is their unique and highly constraining S(U(1)^N) flavour symmetry, which strongly affects low-energy physics. In this talk, we apply genetic algorithms to explore the flavour symmetries of these models, focussing on the quark sector of the MSSM.
