Weak coupling limit of F-theory models with MSSM spectrum and massless U(1)’s
Abstract We consider the Sen limit of several global F-theory compactifications, some of which exhibit an MSSM-like spectrum. We show that these indeed have a consistent limit where they can be viewed as resulting from an intersecting brane configuration in type IIB. We discuss the match of the flux...

| Summary: | Abstract We consider the Sen limit of several global F-theory compactifications, some of which exhibit an MSSM-like spectrum. We show that these indeed have a consistent limit where they can be viewed as resulting from an intersecting brane configuration in type IIB. We discuss the match of the fluxes and the chiral spectrum in detail. We find that some D5-tadpole canceling gauge fluxes do not lift to harmonic vertical four-form fluxes in the resolved F-theory manifold. We discuss the connection between splitting of curves at weak coupling and remnant discrete symmetries. |
