Effective Field Theories for Local Models in F-Theory and M-Theory
Jacob L. Bourjaily
Requiring a strictly local origin of visible sector phenomenology is perhaps the strongest, most falsifiable condition that one can impose on string theory at the high scale: it at…
Local Models in F-Theory and M-Theory with Three Generations
Jacob L. Bourjaily
We describe a general framework that can be used to geometrically engineer local, phenomenological models in F-theory and M-theory based on ALE-fibrations, and we present several c…
Geometrically Engineerable Chiral Matter in M-Theory
Jacob L. Bourjaily, Sam Espahbodi
We present a classification of the massless chiral matter representations that can arise locally in M-theory on G(2) through geometrically engineered singularities. We will find th…
Unfolding Geometric Unification in M-Theory
Jacob L. Bourjaily
By reinterpreting the familiar tools and ideas of M-theory model building, we show how a G2-manifold locally engineered to give rise to massless matter representations of an SU(5)…
Geometrically Engineering the Standard Model: Locally Unfolding Three Families out of E8
Jacob L. Bourjaily
This paper extends and builds upon the results of an earlier paper, in which we described how to use the tools of geometrical engineering to deform geometrically-engineered grand u…
