Freedom and constraints in the K3 landscape

We consider ``magnetized brane'' compactifications of the type I/heterotic string on K3 with U(1) background fluxes. The gauge group and matter content of the resulting six-dimensional vacua are parameterized by a matrix encoding a lattice contained within the even, self-dual lattice Γ[sup...
