Tetrahedron in F-theory Compactification
arXiv:0907.2655
Abstract
Complex tetrahedral surface is a non planar projective surface that is generated by four intersecting complex projective planes . In this paper, we study the family of blow ups of and exhibit the link of these s with the set of del Pezzo surfaces obtained by blowing up n isolated points in the . The s are toric surfaces exhibiting a symmetry that may be used to engineer gauge symmetry enhancements in the Beasley-Heckman-Vafa theory. The blown ups of the tetrahedron have toric graphs with faces, edges and vertices where may localize respectively fields in adjoint representations, chiral matter and Yukawa tri-fields couplings needed for the engineering of F- theory GUT models building.
