U(1) Symmetries in Global F-Theory Compactifications with GUTs

Regular Seminar Christoph Mayrhofer (Heidelberg)

room S4.23
abstract:

In this talk we will describe the construction of F-Theory GUT models for elliptically fibred Calabi-Yau fourfolds admitting a non-trivial Mordell-Weil group. We work out the matter spectrum and Yukawa couplings, including singlets, for these geometries and present the fluxes corresponding to the U(1) symmetries.'
