| Summary: | I give an elementary introduction to the key algorithm used in recent applications
of computational algebraic geometry to the subject of string phenomenology. I
begin with a simple description of the algorithm itself and then give 3 examples of its use in
physics. I describe how it can be used to obtain constraints on flux parameters, how it can
simplify the equations describing vacua in 4D string models, and lastly how it can be used to
compute the vacuum space of the electroweak sector of the MSSM. |
