Quark mass hierarchies in heterotic orbifold GUTs
arXiv:1012.4368 · doi:10.1007/JHEP04(2011)019
Abstract
We discuss how to calculate Yukawa couplings in string-derived orbifold GUTs. As an application we investigate the quark mass hierarchies in these models. An interplay of different mechanisms derived from string theory leads to an interesting pattern. We discuss concrete examples in the context of heterotic orbifold compactifications.
