RAM: Varies greatly depending on calculation to be performed
Classification: 11.1
External routines: Linux: The program “Singular” is called from Mathematica. Windows: “Singular” is called within the Cygwin environment from Mathematica.
Nature of problem: A central problem of string-phenomenology is to find stable vacua in the four-dimensional effective theories which result from compactification.
Solution method: We present an algorithmic method, which uses techniques of algebraic geometry, to find all of the vacua of any given string-phenomenological system in a huge class.
Running time: Varies greatly depending on calculation requested.
