We present a numerical computation, based on neural network techniques, of the physical Yukawa couplings in a heterotic string theory compactification on a smooth Calabi-Yau threefold with non-standard embedding. The model belongs to a large class of heterotic line bundle models that have previously been identified and whose low-energy spectrum precisely matches that of the MSSM plus fields uncharged under the Standard Model group. The relevant quantities for the calculation, that is, the Ricci-flat Calabi-Yau metric, the Hermitian Yang-Mills bundle metrics and the harmonic bundle-valued forms, are all computed by training suitable neural networks. For illustration, we consider a one-parameter family in complex structure moduli space. The computation at each point along this locus takes about half a day on a single twelve-core CPU. Our results for the Yukawa couplings are estimated to be within 10% of the expected analytic result. We find that the effect of the matter field normalisation can be significant and can contribute towards generating hierarchical couplings. We also demonstrate that a zeroth order, semi-analytic calculation, based on the Fubini-Study metric and its counterparts for the bundle metric and the bundle-valued forms, leads to roughly correct results, about 25% away from the numerical ones. The method can be applied to other heterotic line bundle models and generalised to other constructions, including to F-theory models.

On the Renormalization Group flow of distributions
A continuity equation governs the RG flow of coupling distributions, so the most probable coupling after evolution need not follow the most probable initial trajectory.

What to do with a Ricci-flat Calabi--Yau metric?
Numerical Ricci-flat Calabi–Yau metrics turn string compactifications from topological existence statements into computable geometries, unlocking normalized couplings, spectra, and metric-level tests of mirror symmetry.
