Symmetric Vacua in Heterotic M–Theory
Symmetric vacua of heterotic M–theory, characterized by vanishing cohomology classes of individual sources in the three–form Bianchi identity, are analyzed on smooth Calabi–Yau three– folds. We show that such vacua do not exist for elliptically fibered Calabi–Yau spaces. However, explicit examples are found for Calabi–Yau three–folds arising as intersections in both unweighted and weighted proj...
متن کاملYukawa Textures in Heterotic M-theory
We examine the structure of the Yukawa couplings in the 11 dimensional Horava-Witten M-theory based on non-standard embeddings. We find that the CKM and quark mass hierarchies can be explained in M Theory without introducing undue fine tuning. A phenomenological example is presented satisfying all CKM and quark mass data requiring the 5-branes cluster near the second orbifold plane, and that th...
متن کاملStandard Model Vacua in Heterotic M – Theory
We present a class of N = 1 supersymmetric “standard” models of particle physics, derived directly from heterotic M–theory, that contain three families of chiral quarks and leptons coupled to the gauge group SU(3)C ×SU(2)L×U(1)Y . These models are a fundamental form of “brane world” theories, with an observable and hidden sector each confined, after compactification on a Calabi–Yau threefold, t...
متن کاملHeterotic M – Theory Vacua with Five – Branes ∗
We construct vacua of heterotic M–theory with general gauge bundles and five–branes. Some aspects of the resulting low–energy effective theories are discussed. M–theory on the orbifold S/Z2 is believed to describe the strong coupling limit of the E8 × E8 heterotic string [1] and, therefore, constitutes a particularly interesting starting point for M–theory particle phenomenology. At low energy,...
متن کاملDe Sitter Vacua from Heterotic M-Theory
It is shown how metastable de Sitter vacua can arise from heterotic M-theory. The balancing of two inherent non-perturbative effects, open membrane instantons and gaugino condensation on the hidden boundary, which act with opposing forces on the interval length, lead in particular to a stabilization of this modulus. Supersymmetry is broken spontaneously in the resulting vacua. For rather small ...
