A solution to the decompactification problem in chiral heterotic strings

We present a solution to the decompactification problem of gauge thresholds in chiral heterotic string theories with two large extra dimensions, where supersymmetry is spontaneously broken by the Scherk–Schwarz mechanism. Whenever the Kaluza–Klein scale that controls supersymmetry breaking is much l...
