Speaker

Mr Paul-Konstantin Oehlmann (Bonn University)

Description

We give an overview on all F-theory fibrations with the 16 classical 2D polytopes as the fiber. We find examples of Mordell-Weil torsion and discrete symmetries observe a possible connection by mirror symmetry. In the second part of the talk we complete one of the fibrations to a full four dimensional theory possessing exact Pati-Salam symmetry group with three chiral families and break it down to the Standard Model.
