摘要
We construct a Landau-Ginzburg model with the same data and symmetries as a Z(2) X Z(2) orbifold that corresponds to a class of realistic fi ee-fermion models. Within the class of interest, we show that this orbifolding connects between different Z(2) X Z(2) orbifold models and commutes with the mirror symmetry. Our work suggests that duality symmetries previously discussed in the context of specific M- and F-theory compactifications may be extended to the special Z(2) X Z(2) orbifold that characterizes realistic free-fermion models, (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
