In their purest form, these models are maximally supersymmetric (N = 4), and thus only contain superpartners in their matter sector. This feature makes their systematic construction particularly efficient, and they are thus useful in their simplicity. The thesis first provides a brisk introduction to heterotic strings and the spin-structure construction of free fermionic models. Three systematic surveys are then presented, and it is conjectured that these surveys are exhaustive modulo redundancies. Finally, the author presents a collection of metaheuristic algorithms for searching the landscape for models with a user-specified spectrum of phenomenological properties, e.g. gauge group and number of spacetime supersymmetries. Such algorithms provide the groundwork for extended generic free fermionic surveys. 000753673 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed February 10, 2016). 000753673 650_0 $$aStandard model (Nuclear physics) 000753673 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319246161 000753673 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000753673 852__ $$bebk 000753673 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-24618-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000753673 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:753673$$pGLOBAL_SET 000753673 980__ $$aEBOOK 000753673 980__ $$aBIB 000753673 982__ $$aEbook 000753673 983__ $$aOnline 000753673 994__ $$a92$$bISE
