Abstract

We study orbifolds of (0, 2) models and their relation to (0, 2) mirror symmetry. In the Landau-Ginzburg phase of a (0, 2) model the superpotential features a whole bunch of discrete symmetries, which by quotient action lead to a variety of consistent (0, 2) vacua. We study a few examples in very much detail. Furthermore, we comment on the application of (0, 2) mirror symmetry to the calculation of Yukawa couplings in the space-time superpotential.
