Exponentially Small Cosmological Constant in String Theory

Mehmet Demirtas et al.

Summary: We present a supersymmetric vacuum in string theory with a vacuum energy magnitude smaller than 10^(-123) in Planck units. Our proposed mechanism generates a well-controlled exponential hierarchy by choosing appropriate quantized parameters in the superpotential. This approach offers a new perspective on the cosmological constant problem.

Brill-Noether-general limit root bundles: absence of vector-like exotics in F-theory Standard Models

Martin Bies et al.

Summary: This study focuses on root bundles in 4d F-theory compactifications and their relevance to phenomenology. The analysis suggests that a large majority of root bundles in a certain geometry have no vector-like exotics. Furthermore, by studying a few nodal curves, it is possible to understand the vector-like spectra of the entire family of geometries. The study introduces a computer algorithm to compute the cohomologies of the root bundles.

Natural F-theory constructions of standard model structure from E-7 flux breaking

Shing Yan Li et al.

Summary: In this paper, we describe a class of 4D F-theory models in which an E-7 gauge group is broken to the standard model gauge group through fluxes. These models are pervasive in the 4D F-theory landscape and can arise from flux breaking of most models with E-7 factors. While in some cases, the breaking of E-7 leads to exotic matter, there are also cases where the standard model gauge group and chiral matter representations can be obtained through an intermediate SU(5) group. The number of generations of matter appearing in these models can be small.

Small cosmological constants in string theory

Mehmet Demirtas et al.

Summary: By constructing supersymmetric AdS(4) vacua in compactifications on orientifolds of Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces, we have found that with mild assumptions on numerical values, all moduli can be stabilized at weak string coupling. Furthermore, high-degree Gopakumar-Vafa invariants provide strong evidence that the compactifications are well-controlled, resulting in extremely small cosmological constants. The hierarchical scale-separation in these large but not exponentially compactifications is manifested by the AdS length exceeding the Kaluza-Klein length by a googol factor.

Root bundles and towards exact matter spectra of F-theory MSSMs

Martin Bies et al.

Summary: This study examines the structure and origin of root bundles and spin bundles in relation to F-theory gauge potentials, particularly in the context of constructing the F-theory Standard Model without vector-like exotics. By analyzing the constraints on matter curves, a lower bound for combinations of root bundles and spin bundles satisfying the absence of vector-like pairs is determined. The results of this systematic study provide valuable insights into the vector-like spectra in F-theory geometry.

Statistics of limit root bundles relevant for exact matter spectra of F-theory MSSMs

Martin Bies et al.

Summary: This study focuses on analyzing F-theory Standard Models with gauge coupling unification and no chiral exotics using root bundles, and identifies promising toric base threefolds for establishing models with exactly three quark doublets and no vectorlike exotics. By studying triangulations of 708 polytopes, the research derives lower bounds on the number of root bundles with three sections on specific curves. The findings suggest that induced root bundles on certain threefolds have three global sections and no exotic vectorlike quark-doublet modes.

Machine learning and algebraic approaches towards complete matter spectra in 4d F-theory

Martin Bies et al.

Summary: This study combines machine learning and algebraic geometry techniques to analyze line bundle cohomologies on families of holomorphic curves. By generating a large amount of data and training a model to provide intuition for cohomology jumps, the researchers construct additional vector-like Higgs pairs in an F-Theory toy model. Further tools from algebraic geometry, particularly Brill-Noether theory, are needed to quantitatively explain the entire dataset. A diagrammatic approach is introduced to express cohomology jumps across the parameter space of each family of matter curves, reflecting a stratification of the F-theory complex structure moduli space in terms of the vector-like spectrum.
