We clarify the relation between six-dimensional Abelian orbifold compactifications of the heterotic string and smooth heterotic K3 compactifications with line bundles for both SO(32) and E_8 x E_8 gauge groups. The T^4/Z_N cases for N=2,3,4 are treated exhaustively, and for N=6 some examples are given. While all T^4/Z_2 and nearly all T^4/Z_3 models have a simple smooth match involving one line bundle only, this is only true for some T^4/Z_4 and T^4/Z_6 cases. We comment on possible matchings with more than one line bundle for the remaining cases. The matching is provided by comparisons of the massless spectra and their anomalies as well as a field theoretic analysis of the blow-ups.

  1. Categorified structures over moduli spaces: Anomalies, non-invertible symmetries, and exceptional holonomy

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper conjectures that non-invertible Ising and tricritical Ising symmetries organize closed string states and D-brane categories into categorical bundles over moduli spaces of exceptional holonomy compactifications.

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

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
