Gauge symmetry breaking with fluxes and natural Standard Model structure from exceptional GUTs in F-theory

Abstract We give a general description of gauge symmetry breaking using vertical and remainder fluxes in 4D F-theory models. The fluxes can break a geometric gauge group to a smaller group and induce chiral matter, even when the larger group admits no chiral matter representations. We focus specific...
