Heterotic Line Bundle Standard Models    [PDF]

Lara B. Anderson, James Gray, Andre Lukas, Eran Palti
In a previous publication, arXiv:1106.4804, we have found 200 models from
heterotic Calabi-Yau compactifications with line bundles, which lead to
standard models after taking appropriate quotients by a discrete symmetry and
introducing Wilson lines. In this paper, we construct the resulting standard
models explicitly, compute their spectrum including Higgs multiplets, and
analyze some of their basic properties. After removing redundancies we find
about 400 downstairs models, each with the precise matter spectrum of the
supersymmetric standard model, with one, two or three pairs of Higgs doublets
and no exotics of any kind. In addition to the standard model gauge group, up
to four Green-Schwarz anomalous U(1) symmetries are present in these models,
which constrain the allowed operators in the four-dimensional effective
supergravity. The vector bosons associated to these anomalous U(1) symmetries
are massive. We explicitly compute the spectrum of allowed operators for each
model and present the results, together with the defining data of the models,
in a database of standard models accessible at
http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/projects/CalabiYau/linebundlemodels/index.html.
Based on these results we analyze elementary phenomenological properties. For
example, for about 200 models all dimension four and five proton decay
violating operators are forbidden by the additional U(1) symmetries.
