\emph{Gepner model} (\hyperlink{Gepner87}{Gepner 87}) is a [[rational CFT|rational]] [[2d SCFT]] which is a [[tensor product]] of $N = 2$ super-[[minimal model CFT]]. This means that Gepner models are ``[[non-geometric string vacua]]'' in that they do not arise as [[sigma-models]] with [[target space]] a [[smooth manifold]]. Indeed the Gepner models appear as the limiting cases of sigma-models with [[target space]] a 6d [[Calabi-Yau manifold]] at singular points in the [[moduli space]] of the CY target: the \emph{[[flop transition]]}. As such the Gepner models are directly analogous to the purely algebraically defined non-classical fibers in the [[Connes-Lott-Chamseddine-Barrett model]] (it is a ``[[2-spectral triple]]''-analog of the [[spectral triples]] in the Connes-Lott model, see \href{Connes-Lott-Chamseddine-Barrett+model#Schreiber16}{there}) and, accordingly, plays a central role in [[string phenomenology]] (for review see e.g. \hyperlink{Reppel07}{Reppel 07}). The Gepner models are a basic building block for [[rational conformal field theory]]. \hypertarget{properties}{}\subsection*{{Properties}}\label{properties} \hypertarget{BoundaryStates}{}\subsubsection*{{Boundary states}}\label{BoundaryStates} \begin{quote}% All the known [[rational CFT|rational]] [[boundary states]] for [[Gepner models]] can be regarded as [[permutation branes]]. \end{quote} (\hyperlink{EngerRecknagelRoggenkamp05}{Enger-Recknagel-Roggenkamp 05}) \hypertarget{Phenomenology}{}\subsubsection*{{Phenomenology}}\label{Phenomenology} Discussion of [[string phenomenology]] of [[intersecting D-brane models]] [[KK-compactification|KK-compactified]] with [[non-geometric background|non-geometric]] [[fibers]] such that the would-be string [[sigma-models]] with these [[target spaces]] are in fact [[Gepner models]] (in the sense of \emph{\href{https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/spectral-standard-model-string-compactifications/}{Spectral Standard Model and String Compactifications}}) is in (\hyperlink{DijkstraHuiszoonSchellekens04a}{Dijkstra-Huiszoon-Schellekens 04a}, \hyperlink{DijkstraHuiszoonSchellekens04a}{Dijkstra-Huiszoon-Schellekens 04b}): \begin{quote}% A plot of [[standard model of particle physics|standard model]]-like [[coupling constants]] in a computer scan of [[Gepner model]]-[[KK-compactification]] of [[intersecting D-brane models]] according to \hyperlink{DijkstraHuiszoonSchellekens04b}{Dijkstra-Huiszoon-Schellekens 04b}.
