Heterotic asymmetric orbifolds revisited

In this talk I will first review the basics of toroidal asymmetric orbifolds. I will then discuss a class of 6-dimensional models with 8 supercharges. I will also consider models with 16 supercharges and reduced rank, describing a novel formalism that will be applied to construct “islands” without vector multiplets.
