Potential fate of local model building

Potential fate of local model building

We analyze local models at the point of ${E}_{8}$ in $F$-theory grand unified theories and identify exactly two models with potentially realistic properties concerning proton stability and a suitable pattern of quark and lepton masses. To this end, we identify a matter parity at the local point. A globally consistent …
