Title: Generic matter representations in 6D supergravity theories

Abstract

>In six-dimensional supergravity, there is a natural sense in which matter lying in certain representations of the gauge group is “generic,” in that other “exotic” matter representations require more fine tuning. From considerations of the dimensionality of the moduli space and anomaly cancellation conditions, we find that the generic sets of matter representations are well-defined for 6D supergravity theories with gauge groups containing arbitrary numbers of nonabelian factors and U(1) factors. These generic matter representations also match with those that arise in the most generic F-theory constructions, both in 6D and in 4D, with non-generic matter representations requiring more exotic singularity types. The analysis of generic versus exotic matter illuminates long-standing puzzles regarding F-theory models with multiple U(1) factors and provides a useful framework for analyzing the 6D “swampland” of apparently consistent low-energy theories that cannot be realized through known string constructions. We note also that the matter content of the standard model is generic by the criteria used here only if the global structure is SU(3)c× SU(2)L× U(1)Y/Z6.

Automatic enhancement in 6D supergravity and F-theory models

Journal Article Raghuram, Nikhil ; Taylor, Washington ; Turner, Andrew P. - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We observe that in many F-theory models, tuning a specific gauge group G and matter content M under certain circumstances leads to an automatic enhancement to a larger gauge group G' ⊂ G and matter content M' ⊂ M. We propose that this is true for any theory G, M whenever there exists a containing theory G', M' that cannot be Higgsed down to G, M. We give a number of examples including non-Higgsable gauge factors, nonabelian gauge factors, abelian gauge factors, and exotic matter. In each of these cases, tuning an F-theory model with the desired features produces eithermore »« less

An infinite swampland of U(1) charge spectra in 6D supergravity theories

Journal Article Taylor, Washington ; Turner, Andrew P. - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We analyze the anomaly constraints on 6D supergravity theories with a single abelian U(1) gauge factor. For theories with charges restricted to q = ±1, ±2 and no tensor multiplets, anomaly-free models match those models that can be realized from F-theory compactifications almost perfectly. For theories with tensor multiplets or with larger charges, the F-theory constraints are less well understood. We show, however, that there is an infinite class of distinct massless charge spectra in the “swampland” of theories that satisfy all known quantum consistency conditions but do not admit a realization through F-theory or any other known approach tomore »« less

Generic Construction of the Standard Model Gauge Group and Matter Representations in F-theory

Journal Article Taylor, Washington ; Turner, Andrew P. - Fortschritte der Physik

In this work, we describe general classes of 6D and 4D F-theory models with gauge group (SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1))/Z₆. For 6D F-theory models with no tensor multiplets, we prove that this set of constructions gives all possible consistent supergravity theories with this gauge group and the corresponding generic matter representations, which include those of the MSSM. We expect, though do not prove, that these models are similarly generic for 6D theories with tensor multiplets and for 4D N=1 supergravity theories. Finally, the models in the largest class of these constructions come from deforming an underlying geometry with SU(4)×SU(3)×SU(2), corresponding to Higgsing onmore » three bifundamental fields.« less

General F-theory models with tuned (SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1))/ Z₆ symmetry

Journal Article Raghuram, Nikhil ; Taylor, Washington ; Turner, Andrew P. - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We construct a general form for an F-theory Weierstrass model over a general base giving a 6D or 4D supergravity theory with gauge group (SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1))/Z₆ and generic associated matter, which includes the matter content of the standard model. The Weierstrass model is identified by unHiggsing a model with U(1) gauge symmetry and charges q ≤ 4 previously found by the first author. This model includes two distinct branches that were identified in earlier work, and includes as a special case the class of models recently studied by Cvetič, Halverson, Lin, Liu, and Tian, for which wemore »« less

Large U(1) charges in F-theory

Journal Article Raghuram, Nikhil ; Taylor, Washington - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We show that massless fields with large abelian charges (up to at least q = 21) can be constructed in 6D F-theory models with a U(1) gauge group. To show this, we explicitly construct F-theory Weierstrass models with nonabelian gauge groups that can be broken to U(1) theories with a variety of large charges. Determining the maximum abelian charge allowed in such a theory is key to eliminating what seems currently to be an infinite swampland of apparently consistent U(1) supergravity theories with large charges.
