Abstract

In this note we derive the net number of generations of chiral fermions in heterotic string compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds with certain SU(n) vector bundles, for n odd, using the parabolic approach for bundles. We compare our results with the spectral cover construction for bundles and make a comment on the net number interpretation in F-theory.
