Breakdown of Duality in (0,2) Superstring Models
Abstract
Description
After pointing out the role of the compactification lattice for spectrum calculations in orbifold models, I discuss modular discrete symmetry groups for $Z_N$ or\-bi\-folds. I consider the $Z_7$ orbifold as a nontrivial example of a (2,2) model and give the generators of the modular group for this case, which does not contain $[SL(2,{\bf Z})]^3$ as had been speculated. I also discuss how to treat cases where quantized Wilson lines are present. I consider in detail an example, demonstrating that quantized Wilson lines affect the modular group in a nontrivial manner. In particular, I show that it is possible for a Wilson line to break $SL(2,{\bf Z})$.}
