Fluxes #
Associated with each matter curve Σ
are G₄
-fluxes and hypercharge
fluxes.
For a given matter curve Σ
, and a Standard Model representation R
,
these two fluxes contribute to the chiral index χ(R)
of the representation
(eq 17 of [1]).
The chiral index is equal to the difference the number of left-handed minus
the number of right-handed fermions Σ
leads to in the representation R
.
Thus, for example, if χ(R) = 0
, then all fermions in the representation R
arising from Σ
arise in vector-like pairs, and can be given a mass term without
the presence of a Higgs like-particle.
For a 10d representation matter curve the non-zero chiral indices can be parameterized in terms
of two integers M : ℤ
and N : ℤ
. For the SM representation
Q = (3,2)_{1/6}
the chirality index isM
U = (bar 3,1)_{-2/3}
the chirality index isM - N
E = (1,1)_{1}
the chirality index isM + N
We call refer toM
as the chirality flux of the 10d representation, andN
as the hypercharge flux. There exact definitions are given in (eq 19 of [1]).
Similarly, for the 5-bar representation matter curve the non-zero chiral indices can be
likewise be parameterized in terms of two integers M : ℤ
and N : ℤ
. For the SM representation
D = (bar 3,1)_{1/3}
the chirality index isM
L = (1,2)_{-1/2}
the chirality index isM + N
We again refer toM
as the chirality flux of the 5-bar representation, andN
as the hypercharge flux. The exact definitions are given in (eq 19 of [1]).
If one wishes to put the condition of no chiral exotics in the spectrum, then we must ensure that the chiral indices above give the chiral content of the MSSM. These correspond to the following conditions:
- The two higgs
Hu
andHd
must arise from different 5d-matter curves. Otherwise they will give aμ
-term. - The matter curve containing
Hu
must give one anti-chiral(1,2)_{-1/2}
and no(bar 3,1)_{1/3}
. ThusN = -1
andM = 0
. - The matter curve containing
Hd
must give one chiral(1,2)_{-1/2}
and no(bar 3,1)_{1/3}
. ThusN = 1
andM = 0
. - We should have no anti-chiral
(3,2)_{1/6}
and anti-chiral(bar 3,1)_{-2/3}
. Thus0 ≤ M
for all 10d-matter curves and 5d matter curves. - For the 10d-matter curves we should have no anti-chiral
(bar 3,1)_{-2/3}
and no anti-chiral(1,1)_{1}
. Thus-M ≤ N ≤ M
for all 10d-matter curves. - For the 5d-matter curves we should have no anti-chiral
(1,2)_{-1/2}
(the only anti-chiral one present is the one fromHu
) and thus-M ≤ N
for all 5d-matter curves. - To ensure we have 3-families of fermions we must have that
∑ M = 3
and∑ N = 0
for the matter 10d and 5bar matter curves, and in addition∑ (M + N) = 3
for the matter 5d matter curves. See the conditions in equation 26 - 28 of [1].
Implmentation #
The above theory is implemented by defining two data structures:
FluxesTen
of typeMultiset (ℤ × ℤ)
which contains the chiralityM
and hypercharge fluxesN
of the 10d-matter curves.FluxesFive
of typeMultiset (ℤ × ℤ)
which contains the chiralityM
and hypercharge fluxesN
of the 5-bar-matter curves (excluding the higges).
Note: Neither FluxesTen
or FluxesFive
are fundamental to the theory,
they can be derived from other data structures.
