26. The example in Refs. [16,18] is type IIB strings compactified on a CY conifold, which contains 16 singular points subject to one homology relation, leading to 16 hypermultiplets charged under 15 U(1)s in the low energy theory.

53. It should be stressed that the CMB constraints are based on numerical simulations of NO strings that are all in the Bogomol'nyi limit. The mass per unit length (and therefore the deficit angle and the CMB signal) of the strings goes down with lower β.
