Standard-like Models from D-branes
نویسنده
چکیده
I describe the main features of new intersecting D4and D5-brane orbifold models that yield the non-supersymmetric standard model, up to vector-like matter and, in some cases, extra U(1) factors in the gauge group. There are six-stack D4-brane models that have charged-singlet scalar tachyons and which either contain all of the Yukawa couplings to the tachyonic Higgs doublets that are needed to generate mass terms for the fermions at renormalisable level or possess an unwanted extra U(1) gauge symmetry after spontaneous symmetry breaking. In the D5-brane models a minimum of eight stacks is needed.

Supersymmetric Particle Physics from Intersecting D-Branes
We review recent progress that has been made in the study of particle physics implications from Type II string with intersecting D-branes. While in the past the focus was on deriving particle physics of four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric solutions of perturbative heterotic string, recent progress has focused on Type II string theory orientifold compactifications with D-branes. We describe exam...
متن کاملString Unification of Gauge Couplings with Intersecting D-branes
During the last years string compactifications with intersecting D-branes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 have been of particular interest to the string phenomenology community for their appealing Standard Model-like features such as chiral fermions , family replication and Standard Model gauge groups. From the model building point of view, having a low string scale scenario in mind, most effort went i...
متن کاملNon-minimal Higgs content in standard-like models from D-branes at a ZN singularity
We show that attempts to construct the standard model, or the MSSM, by placing D3-branes and D7-branes at a ZN orbifold or orientifold singularity all require that the electroweak Higgs content is non-minimal. For the orbifold the lower bound on the number n(H)+n(H̄) of electroweak Higgs doublets is the number n(q L) = 6 of quark singlets, and for the orientifold the lower bound can be one less....
متن کاملStandard-like Models from Intersecting D5-branes
We construct intersecting D5-brane orbifold models that yield the (non-supersymmetric) standard model up to vector-like matter and charged-singlet scalars. The models are constrained by the requirement that twisted tadpoles cancel, and that the gauge boson coupled to the weak hypercharge U(1)Y does not get a string-scale mass via a generalised Green-Schwarz mechanism. Gauge coupling constant ra...
متن کاملOrientifolds of K3 and Calabi-Yau Manifolds with Intersecting D-branes
We investigate orientifolds of type II string theory on K3 and Calabi-Yau 3-folds with intersecting D-branes wrapping special Lagrangian cycles. We determine quite generically the chiral massless spectrum in terms of topological invariants and discuss both orbifold examples and algebraic realizations in detail. Intriguingly, the developed techniques provide an elegant way to figure out the chir...
