Supersymmetric Three Family SU(5) Grand Unified Models from Type IIA Orientifolds with Intersecting D6-Branes
Mirjam Cvetic, Ioannis Papadimitriou, Gary Shiu
We construct some N=1 supersymmetric three-family SU(5) Grand Unified Models from type IIA orientifolds on $\IT^6/(\IZ_2\times \IZ_2)$ with D6-branes intersecting at general angles…
Linearly-realised Worldsheet Supersymmetry in pp-wave Background
M. Cvetic, H. Lu, C. N. Pope +1
We study the linearly-realised worldsheet supersymmetries in the ``massive'' type II light-cone actions for pp-wave backgrounds. The pp-waves have have 16+N_sup Killing spinors, co…
Special Holonomy Spaces and M-theory
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We review the construction of regular p-brane solutions of M-theory and string theory with less than maximal supersymmetry whose transverse spaces have metrics with special holonom…
Bianchi IX Self-dual Einstein Metrics and Singular G_2 Manifolds
M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, H. Lu +1
We construct explicit cohomogeneity two metrics of G_2 holonomy, which are foliated by twistor spaces. The twistor spaces are S^2 bundles over four-dimensional Bianchi IX Einstein…
Brane Resolution and Gravitational Chern-Simons terms
Francisco A. Brito, Mirjam Cvetic, Asad Naqvi
We show that gravitational Chern-Simons corrections, associated with the sigma-model anomaly on the M5-brane world-volume, can resolve the singularity of the M2-brane solution with…
A Three-Family Standard-like Orientifold Model: Yukawa Couplings and Hierarchy
Mirjam Cvetic, Paul Langacker, Gary Shiu
We discuss the hierarchy of Yukawa couplings in a supersymmetric three family Standard-like string Model. The model is constructed by compactifying Type IIA string theory on a Z_2…
