Stabilizing the complex structure in heterotic Calabi-Yau vacua

In this paper, we show that the presence of gauge fields in heterotic Calabi-Yau compactifications can cause the stabilization of some, or all, of the complex structure moduli while maintaining a Minkowski vacuum. Certain deformations of the Calabi-Yau complex structure, with all other moduli held f...
