Abstract

We search for the three-generation standard-like and/or Pati-Salam models from the SO(32) heterotic string theory on smooth, quotient complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds with multiple line bundles, each with structure group U(1). These models are S- and T-dual to intersecting D-brane models in type IIA string theory. We find that the stable line bundles and Wilson lines lead to the standard model gauge group with an extra U(1)B−L via a Pati-Salam-like symmetry and the obtained spectrum consists of three chiral generations of quarks and leptons, and vector-like particles. Green-Schwarz anomalous U(1) symmetries control not only the Yukawa couplings of the quarks and leptons but also the higher-dimensional operators causing the proton decay.

Highlights

  • Other hand, the adjoint representation of SO(32) does not contain the spinor representation of SO(10), but it contains the spectrum of the standard model

  • We find that the stable line bundles and Wilson lines lead to the standard model gauge group with an extra U(1)B−L via a Pati-Salam-like symmetry and the obtained spectrum consists of three chiral generations of quarks and leptons, and vector-like particles

  • S- and T-dualities tell us that the SO(32) heterotic line bundle models correspond to intersecting D6-brane models in type IIA string theory, where several stacks of branes directly lead to the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and/or Pati-Salam model [26,27,28]

Summary

Consistency conditions in the low-energy effective action

We briefly review the low-energy effective action of the SO(32) heterotic string theory on CY manifolds with multiple line bundles. (For more details, we refer to refs. [10, 11, 32].) At the order of α′, the bosonic part of the low-energy effective action is given by. Since the spinorial representation appears in the first excited mode in the heterotic string [1, 2], we require that the first Chern class of the total gauge bundle lies in second even integral cohomology basis of the CY manifold: c1(W ) = nac1(La) ∈ H2(M, 2Z), a (2.7). When some bundles in eq (2.2) are trivial bundles OM, the U(1) gauge symmetries are enhanced to non-abelian ones as shown in section 3 and corresponding cohomology becomes dim(H0(M, OM)) = dim(H3(M, OM)) = 1 and dim(H1(M, OM)) = dim(H2(M, OM)) = 0 This is because the zero-modes of the Dirac operator are the (0, 0) and (0, 3) forms under the Dolbeault operator ∂ ̄ on manifolds of SU(3) holonomy. Proper internal line bundles have the potential to yield three generations of chiral fermions for a large class of CY manifolds, in the standard embedding scenario, three-generation models are restricted to specific CY manifolds with small hodge numbers
