We study heterotic model building on 16 specific Calabi-Yau manifolds constructed as hypersurfaces in toric four-folds. These 16 manifolds are the only ones among the more than half a billion manifolds in the Kreuzer-Skarke list with a non-trivial first fundamental group. We classify the line bundle models on these manifolds, both for SU(5) and SO(10) GUTs, which lead to consistent supersymmetric string vacua and have three chiral families. A total of about 29000 models is found, most of them corresponding to SO(10) GUTs. These models constitute a starting point for detailed heterotic model building on Calabi-Yau manifolds in the Kreuzer-Skarke list. The data for these models can be downloaded here: http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/projects/CalabiYau/toricdata/index.html

  1. Exploring Line Bundle Standard Models with Transformers

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A Transformer RL agent is trained to generate valid heterotic line bundle sums on CICYs that satisfy gauge embedding, anomaly cancellation, poly-stability, chirality, and no-exotics constraints.

  2. Hilbert Functions and Line Bundle Cohomology on CICY Threefolds

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Hilbert functions of Koszul maps turn empirical chamber-wise polynomial formulae for line bundle cohomology on CICY threefolds into explicit analytic or finite-box certified statements.
