Light U(1)s in heterotic string models

We present the construction of heterotic string models built using the free fermionic formulation, and focus on how additional U(1)s may arise. We motivate an anomaly free combination, U(1)_\zeta, as a proton lifetime preserving symmetry external to a left--right symmetric gauge group. This same com...
