Quadrillion F-theory compactifications with the exact chiral spectrum of the standard modelCvetič, Mirjam (Avtor) Halverson, James (Avtor) Lin, Ling (Avtor) Liu, Mingqiang (Avtor) Tian, Jianjun Paul (Avtor) FLUXF-theorystring compactificationschiral spectrumWe present O(10(15)) string compactifications with the exact chiral spectrum of the standard model of particle physics. This ensemble of globally consistent F-theory compactifications automatically realizes gauge coupling unification. Utilizing the power of algebraic geometry, all global consistency conditions can be reduced to a single criterion on the base of the underlying elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds. For toric bases, this criterion only depends on an associated polytope and is satisfied for at least O(10(15)) bases, each of which defines a distinct compactification.American Physical Society20192023-10-23 13:34:40Znanstveno delo86201sl
