In this paper, we study positive monad vector bundles on complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds in the context of E8 x E8 heterotic string compactifications. We show that the class of such bundles, subject to the heterotic anomaly condition, is finite and consists of about 7000 models. We explain how to compute the complete particle spectrum for these models. In particular, we prove the absence of vector-like family anti-family pairs in all cases. We also verify a set of highly non-trivial necessary conditions for the stability of the bundles. A full stability proof will appear in a companion paper. A scan over all models shows that even a few rudimentary physical constraints reduces the number of viable models drastically.

  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.

  3. Quantum obstructions for $N=1$ infinite distance limits -- Part I: $g_s$ obstructions

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Non-perturbative g_s corrections obstruct perturbative Type IIB descriptions and can remove classical infinite distance degenerations in asymptotic regions of the complex structure moduli space.

  4. Rational points in the 6d supergravity landscape and simple current extensions

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Rationality of the 2d SCFT on BPS strings provides a consistency criterion that uniquely determines the elliptic genus and global gauge group in a class of 6d supergravity models without tensor multiplets.
