Three-family particle physics models from global F-theory compactifications
Abstract
We construct four-dimensional, globally consistent F-theory models with three chiral generations, whose gauge group and matter representations coincide with those of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the Pati-Salam Model and the Trinification Model. These models result from compactification on toric hypersurface fibrations X with the choice of base $$\mathbb P^{3}$$. We observe that the F-theory conditions on the G4-flux restrict the number of families to be at least three. We comment on the phenomenology of the models, and for Pati-Salam and Trinification models discuss the Higgsing to the Standard Model. A central point of this work is the construction of globally consistent G4-flux. For this purpose we compute the vertical cohomology HV(2,2)(X) in each case and solve the conditions imposed by matching the M- and F-theoretical 3D Chern-Simons terms. Finally, we explicitly check that the expressions found for the G4-flux allow for a cancelation of D3-brane tadpoles. We also use the integrality of 3D Chern-Simons terms to ensure that our G4-flux solutions are adequately quantized.
