Standard models from heterotic M-theory

Abstract

We present a class of N = 1 supersymmetric models of particle physics, derived directly from heterotic M-theory, that contain three families of chiral quarks and leptons coupled to the gauge group S'[/(3)CXS'^(2)LX^(1)Y-These models are a fundamental form of "brane-world" theories, with an observable and hidden sector each confined, after compactification on a Calabi-Yau threefold, to a BPS threebrane separated by a five-dimensional bulk space with size of the order of the intermediate scale.The requirement of three families, coupled
