Moduli Spaces and Target Space Duality Symmetries in (0,2)\; Z_N Orbifold Theories with Continuous Wilson Lines
read the original abstract
We present the coset structure of the untwisted moduli space of heterotic $(0,2) \; Z_N$ orbifold compactifications with continuous Wilson lines. For the cases where the internal 6-torus $T_6$ is given by the direct sum $T_4 \oplus T_2$, we explicitly construct the K\"{a}hler potentials associated with the underlying 2-torus $T_2$. We then discuss the transformation properties of these K\"{a}hler potentials under target space modular symmetries. For the case where the $Z_N$ twist possesses eigenvalues of $-1$, we find that holomorphic terms occur in the K\"{a}hler potential describing the mixing of complex Wilson moduli. As a consequence, the associated $T$ and $U$ moduli are also shown to mix under target space modular transformations.

Automorphic Structures of Heterotic Vacua
Fixed points of Sp(4,Z) are extrema of the moduli potential in these heterotic models, with genus-2 no-go theorems for de Sitter vacua and possible metastable minima after SUSY breaking via nonperturbative Kähler terms.
