Standard Models from Heterotic M-theory
Ron Donagi, Burt A. Ovrut, Tony Pantev +1
We present a class of N=1 supersymmetric models of particle physics, derived directly from heterotic M-theory, that contain three families of chiral quarks and leptons coupled to t…
Moduli Spaces of Fivebranes on Elliptic Calabi-Yau Threefolds
Ron Donagi, Burt A. Ovrut, Daniel Waldram
We present a general method for calculating the moduli spaces of fivebranes wrapped on holomorphic curves in elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds, in particular, in the conte…
Holomorphic Vector Bundles and Non-Perturbative Vacua in M-Theory
Ron Donagi, Andre Lukas, Burt A. Ovrut +1
We review the spectral cover formalism for constructing both U(n) and SU(n) holomorphic vector bundles on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau three-folds which admit a section. We disc…
