(0,2) hybrid models
Abstract
© 2018, The Author(s). We introduce a class of (0,2) superconformal field theories
based on hybrid geometries, generalizing various known constructions. We develop techniques
for the computation of the complete massless spectrum when the theory can be interpreted
as determining a perturbative heterotic string compactification. We provide evidence
for surprising properties regarding RG flows and IR accidental symmetries in (0,2)
hybrid CFTs. We also study the conditions for embedding a hybrid theory in a particular
class of gauged linear sigma models. This perspective suggests that our construction
generates models which cannot be realized or analyzed by previously known methods.

My research is in String Theory, the most ambitious attempt yet at a comprehensive
theory of the fundamental structure of the universe. In some (rather imprecise) sense,
string theory replaces the particles that form the fundamental building blocks for
conventional theories (the fields, or wave phenomena, we observe are obtained starting
from particles when we apply the principles of quantum mechanics) with objects that
are not point-like but extended in one dimension – strings. At present, th
