Journal ArticleDOI
The exact MSSM spectrum from string theory
TL;DR: The existence of realistic vacua in string theory whose observable sector has exactly the matter content of the MSSM was shown in this article, which was achieved by compactifying the E 8 x E 8 heterotic superstring on a smooth Calabi-Yau threefold with an SU(4) gauge instanton and a Z 3 x Z 3 Wilson line.
Journal ArticleDOI
A heterotic standard model
TL;DR: In this article, the existence of simple, realistic N=1 supersymmetric vacua that are compatible with low energy particle physics was shown, and the construction exploits a mechanism for splitting multiplets.
Journal ArticleDOI
GUTs in Type IIB Orientifold Compactifications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically analyse globally consistent SU (5 ) GUT models on intersecting D7-branes in genuine Calabi-Yau orientifolds with O3-and O7-planes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orientifolds of K3 and Calabi-Yau manifolds with intersecting D-branes
TL;DR: In this paper, the chiral spectrum of orientifolds of type II string theory on K3 and Calabi-Yau 3-folds with intersecting D-branes wrapping special lagrangian cycles is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orientifolds of K3 and Calabi-Yau Manifolds with Intersecting D-branes
TL;DR: In this article, the chiral massless spectrum of orientifolds of type II string theory on K3 and Calabi-Yau 3-folds with intersecting D-branes wrapping special Lagrangian cycles is determined.
