Non-Higgsable QCD and the standard model spectrum in F-theory
Many four-dimensional supersymmetric compactifications of F-theory contain gauge groups that cannot be spontaneously broken through geometric deformations. These “non-Higgsable clusters” include realizations of SU(3), SU(2), and SU(3) × SU(2), but no SU(n) gauge groups or factors with n > 3. We s...
