Chiral spectrum of the universal tuned 4D F-theory model
Patrick Jefferson, Washington Taylor, Andrew P. Turner
We use the recently developed methods of 2108.07810 to analyze vertical flux backgrounds and associated chiral matter spectra in the 4D universal $(\text{SU}(3) \times \text{SU}(2)…
Large U(1) charges from flux breaking in 4D F-theory models
Shing Yan Li, Washington Taylor
We study the massless charged spectrum of U(1) gauge fields in F-theory that arise from flux breaking of a nonabelian group. The U(1) charges that arise in this way can be very lar…
Gauge symmetry breaking with fluxes and natural Standard Model structure from exceptional GUTs in F-theory
Shing Yan Li, Washington Taylor
We give a general description of gauge symmetry breaking using vertical and remainder fluxes in 4D F-theory models. The fluxes can break a geometric gauge group to a smaller group…
Dimensional Reduction of B-Fields in F-theory
Sheldon Katz, Washington Taylor
We describe the dimensional reduction of the IIB B-fields in F-theory using a conjectured description of normalizable B-fields in terms of perverse sheaves. Computations are facili…
Snowmass White Paper: String Theory and Particle Physics
Mirjam Cvetic, James Halverson, Gary Shiu +1
We review recent developments and outstanding questions regarding connecting the top-down UV complete physical framework of string theory with the observed physics of the Standard…
Identifying equivalent Calabi--Yau topologies: A discrete challenge from math and physics for machine learning
Vishnu Jejjala, Washington Taylor, Andrew Turner
We review briefly the characteristic topological data of Calabi--Yau threefolds and focus on the question of when two threefolds are equivalent through related topological data. Th…
