A Quadrillion Standard Models from F-theory
2019
We present an explicit construction of $O(10^{15})$ globally consistent string compactifications that realize the exact chiral spectrum of the Standard Model of particle physics in the context of F-theory. Utilizing the power of algebraic geometry, all global consistency conditions can be reduced to a single criterion on the base of the underlying elliptically fibered Calabi--Yau fourfolds. For toric bases, this criterion only depends on an associated polytope and is satisfied for at least $O(10^{15})$ bases, each of which defines a distinct compactification.
