19. K. Choi et al. discuss the problem of accidental axions within the framework of heterotic orbifolds, and provide a catalog of critical string models with suitable discrete symmetries: K.S. Choi, H.P. Nilles, S. Ramos-Sanchez, and P.K.S. Vaudrevange, Phys. Lett. B 675, 381 (2009). PYLBAJ 0370-2693 10.1016/j.physletb.2009.04.028
20. Models with accidental axions as a consequence of discrete symmetries appear, for example, in A.G. Dias, V. Pleitez, and M.D. Tonasse, Phys. Rev. D PRVDAQ 0556-2821 67, 095008 (2003). 10.1103/PhysRevD.67.095008 (Pubitemid 44652363)

40. An example of such phenomenon is perhaps provided by the existence of so-called (0, 2) compactifications in the heterotic string, which imply the vanishing of infinite numbers of otherwise-allowed superpotential terms. See, for example, E. Silverstein and E. Witten, Nucl. Phys. NUPBBO 0550-3213 B444, 161 (1995). 10.1016/0550-3213(95)00186-V

42. Axions in string theory are discussed pedagogically in M. Dine, Supersymmetry and String Theory (Cambridge University Press, London, 2006).
