Abstract
We give the general presciption for calculating the number of moduli of irreducible, stable U(n) holomorphic vector bundles with positive spectral covers over elliptically fibered Calabi–Yau threefolds. Explicit results are presented for Hirzebruch base surfaces B = F r. Vector bundle moduli appear as gauge singlet scalar fields in the effective low-energy actions of heterotic superstrings and heterotic M-theory.
