Global F-theory GUTs

چکیده
We construct global F-theory GUT models on del Pezzo surfaces in compact Calabi-Yau fourfolds realized as complete intersections of two hypersurface constraints. The intersections of the GUT brane and the flavour branes as well as the gauge flux are described by the spectral cover construction. We consider a split S[U(4)×U(1)X ] spectral cover, which allows for the phenomenologically relevant Yukawa couplings and GUT breaking to the MSSM via hypercharge flux while preventing dimension-4 proton decay. General expressions for the massless spectrum, consistency conditions and a new method for the computation of curvature-induced tadpoles are presented. We also provide a geometric toolkit for further model searches in the framework of toric geometry. Finally, an explicit global model with three chiral generations and all required Yukawa couplings is defined on a Calabi-Yau fourfold which is fibered over the del Pezzo transition of the Fano threefold P4[4].

Dispersal patterns of endogenous bacteria among grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) guts
The formation and regulation of vertebrate endogenous intestinal microbiota has been widely studied as the microbiota plays a crucial role in the host nutrition, development, and health. Despite the importance of microbiota for host health, it is still unclear whether the endogenous intestinal microorganisms are genetically distinct or whether they are genetically related with each other in dif...
متن کاملGeneralized Unsafety Theory of Stress: Unsafe Environments and Conditions, and the Default Stress Response
Prolonged physiological stress responses form an important risk factor for disease. According to neurobiological and evolution-theoretical insights the stress response is a default response that is always "on" but inhibited by the prefrontal cortex when safety is perceived. Based on these insights the Generalized Unsafety Theory of Stress (GUTS) states that prolonged stress responses are due to...
متن کاملHaving the guts to compete: how intestinal plasticity explains costs of inducible defences
Rick A. Relyea* and Josh R. Auld Department of Biological Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, USA *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Predators commonly induce phenotypic changes that make prey better at surviving predation at the cost of reduced growth. While we have a good understanding of how trait changes affect predation risk, we lack a mechanistic under...
متن کاملA Particular Class of Guts with Vanishing One-loop Beta Functions
By explicit solution of the one-loop finiteness conditions for gauge and quartic scalarboson self-interaction coupling constants, a particular class of grand unified theories with vanishing Yukawa couplings as well as vanishing one-loop renormalization-group beta functions is constructed.
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and SO(10) SUSY GUTs
In this talk I discuss the qualitative features of an SO(10) SUSY GUT with an SU(2)x U(1) family symmetry. I then describe the global fit of this theory to precision electroweak data [including charged fermion masses and mixing angles]. Finally, the predictions of the model for neutrino masses and mixing are discussed. The most predictive version of the model naturally fits atmospheric neutrino...
