Transitions of orbifold vacua

Abstract We study the global structure of vacua of heterotic strings compactified on orbifolds T 4 /ℤ N (N = 2, 3) in the presence of heterotic 5-branes. Gauge symmetry breaking associated with orbifold is described by instantons in the field theory. There is phase transition between small (zero siz...
