We review the theory and phenomenology of effective supergravity theories based on orbifold compactifications of the weakly-coupled heterotic string. In particular, we consider theories in which the four-dimensional theory displays target space modular invariance and where the dilatonic mode undergoes Kähler stabilization. A self-contained exposition of effective Lagrangian approaches to gaugino condensation and heterotic string theory is presented, leading to the development of the models of Binétruy, Gaillard and Wu. Various aspects of the phenomenology of this class of models are considered. These include issues of supersymmetry breaking and superpartner spectra, the role of anomalous U(1) factors, issues of flavor and R-parity conservation, collider signatures, axion physics, and early universe cosmology. For the vast majority of phenomenological considerations the theories reviewed here compare quite favorably to other string-derived models in the literature. Theoretical objections to the framework and directions for further research are identified and discussed.

Recently, by studying exact flat directions of non-Abelian singlet fields, we demonstrated the existence of free fermionic heterotic-string models in which the SU (3)C× SU (2)L×U(1)Y-charged matter spectrum reduces to that of the MSSM in the effective field theory. In this letter we generalize the analysis to include vevs of non-Abelian fields. We find MSSM-producing, exact non-Abelian flat directions, which are the first such examples in the literature. We examine the possibility that hidden sector condensates lift the flat directions.

A study is made of a class of four-dimensional heterotic string models with complex fermionic degrees of freedom to discover whether there are any examples with 3 or 4 generations of quarks and leptons and SU C(3) × SU L(2) × U p(1) low energy gauge group.

We propose a supergravity model that contains elements recently shown to arise in the strongly-coupled limit of the E8 × E8 heterotic string (M-theory), including a no-scale-like Kähler potential, the identification of the string scale with the gauge coupling unification scale, and the onset of supersymmetry breaking at an intermediate scale determined by the size of the 11th dimension of M-theory. We also study the phenomenological consequences of such scenario, which include a rather constrained sparticle spectrum within the reach of present-generation particle accelerators.
