Abstract

We construct four-dimensional twisted string models on non-prime orbifolds which have as gauge group flipped SU(5) with a phenomenologically interesting matter spectrum of k generations plus ( k −3) antigenerations. Using generalized selection rules for Yukawa couplings on non-prime orbifolds, we analyse one model in greater detail and obtain the following phenomenologically promising features: We find one pair of H and H ̄ GUT Higgs fields which break the GUT gauge group into the standard model, and in addition generate large mass terms for the unwanted triplet parts of the standard model Higgs fields, plus one pair of standard model Higgs fields. Moreover, we obtain couplings of the standard model Higgs to quark and lepton fields in all families.
