| Recently, two new Calabi-Yau threefolds have been discovered which have small Hodge numbers, and give rise to three chiral generations of fermions via the so-called 'standard embedding' compactification of the heterotic string.In this talk I will describe how to deform the standard embedding on these manifolds in order to achieve the correct gauge group. I will also describe how to calculate the resulting spectrum and interactions, which is still work in progress. | |||
