Marginal deformations of heterotic interpolating models and exponential suppression of the cosmological constant

Abstract

Following our previous work of 1905.10745 [hep-th], 2003.11217 [hep-th], we study heterotic interpolating models D dimensionally compactified with constant background fields that include the full set of Wilson lines and radii. Focusing on the phenomenoloically viable supersymmetry restoring parameter region, we analyze the pattern of gauge symmetry enhancement and the representation of massless fermions. We obtain the set of cases with the exponentially small cosmological constant. Our analysis does not depend on non-supersymmetric endpoint models of interpolations. A part of the moduli space of interpolating models is in one-to-one correspondence with the counterpart of toroidal compactification of heterotic superstrings.
