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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString models 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 606 $aMathematical Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString models. 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 676 $a539.72 700 $aMoore$b Douglas G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$049394 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254639803321 996 $aThe Landscape of Free Fermionic Gauge Models$92532455 997 $aUNINA
