Applications of Flux Compactifications in F-Theory
Shing Yan Li
This thesis studies 4D F-theory compactifications with fluxes and their connection to particle physics, accompanied with a review of F-theory. First, we develop a general formalism…
Minimal model of self-organized clusters with phase transitions in ecological communities
Shing Yan Li, Mehran Kardar, Zhijie Feng +1
In complex ecological communities, species may self-organize into clusters or clumps where highly similar species can coexist. The emergence of such species clusters can be capture…
Emergent frequency-dependent selection predicts mutation outcomes in complex ecological communities
Shing Yan Li, Zhijie Feng, Akshit Goyal +1
Ecological interactions can dramatically alter evolutionary outcomes in complex communities. Yet, the framework of population genetics largely neglects interactions from a species-…
Towards natural and realistic GUTs in F-theory
Shing Yan Li, Washington Taylor
We consider phenomenological aspects of a natural class of Standard Model-like supersymmetric F-theory vacua realized through flux breaking of rigid gauge factors. Three gene…
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…
