22 2 FAMILY UNIFICATION
23 Family unification Family unification is the idea that the quarks and leptons are the fermionic partners of the scalars of some coset supersymmetric non-linear sigma model Buchmuller,Peccei,Yanagida; Kugo,Yanagida; Irie,Yasui; Ong The importance of an unparallel family structure was first emphasized by Yanagida, and later by Bando, Kugo and others Bando,Kuramoto,Maskawa,Uehara; Itoh,Kugo,Kunitomo
24 Family unification Remarkably, the Kugo- Yanagida model automatically realizes precisely three UNPARALLEL generations of matter fields needed for the GUT * 5* U(1) 1 U(1) 1 5* 5 1 U(1)
25 Quarks and Leptons in one generation are grouped into 5,1 and 1 of
26 * 5* 1 1 U(1) 5* U(1) 5 1 U(1)
27 * 5* 1 1 U(1) 5* 5 U(1) 1 U(1) /( U(1) 3 ) Kugo-Yanagida model realizes almost minimal necessary matter content for an GUT in an amazingly economical way
28 Family unification in F-THEORY We will show that F-THEORY can naturally realize such a group coset structure To my knowledge this is the first string-theory realization of the old idea of family unification * 5* U(1) 1 U(1) 1 5* 5 1 U(1)
29 Family unification in F THEORY We are interested in some local geometric structure that can realize precisely three unparallel" families This is because if the realization of the SM were a consequence of the global details of the entire compactification space, it would be very hard, if not impossible, to find any reason or explanation for what we observe now * 5* U(1) 1 U(1) 1 5* 5 1 U(1)

31 Four essential aspects of F-theory 1. Instead of considering a configuration of the IIB complex scalar = C + ie, one considers a configuration of a FICTITIOUS torus whose modulus equals Vafa

33 Elliptic fibration ( ) The total space is represented as a fiber bundle whose fiber is a torus

The Kodaira singularities are described by 3. Singularities of elliptic fiberations were classified according to their types investigated by Kodaira Kodaira joining/parting of 7-branes, which involves not only D-branes but general (p,q) branes DeWolfe,Hauer,Iqbal,Zwiebach

44 What happens if there are B- and C-branes? Ordinary D-brane case A (1,)string A [1,]brane [1,]brane A A Short strings between the close branes yields light W (p,q) string can end on [p,q] branes bosons

46 String junction: (p,q) analogue of open string cut cut B C A A (-1,1) and (-1,-1) strings are pulled out when the [1,]brane (-1,1)string (-1,-1)string (,1)string (1,)string (-1,)string string crosses over the B and C branes [1,]brane
47 What happens if there are B- and C-branes? When N D-branes come on top of each other, one gets U(N) gauge symmetry Witten. In this case the relevant massless W-bosons are supplemented by the excitations of light open strings ending on different D-branes Likewise, the extra massless fields needed for the gauge symmetry enhancement to an exceptional group can be thought of as coming from the string junctions connecting the coinciding 7-branes Gaberdiel,Zwiebach U(1) U(2) U(3)

61 Proof of supersymmetry ds 2 4 = e dzd z + e (dw + dz)(d w + d z) = (z,w), : real functions : complex function w = x 6 + ix 7 Any hermitian metric can be written in this form ei e µ = a e ā ī µ = i, ī; i = z,w; ī = z, w; = a, ā; a =1, 2; ā = 1, 2 e a i e 8 i + ie 9 i e 6 i + ie 7 i = e ā ī e 8 ī ie 9 ī e 6 ī ie 7 ī = 1 2 I e 2 e 2 e 2 e 2 = 1 2 I, I = 1 1 g µ = e µ e, ds 4 = g µ dx µ dx e 2 e 2,.
62 1 8 + i 9 = 1 8 i 9 = i 7 = Choice of gamma matrices 2 2 i 7 = 3 2 I = I = = = C A, 1 C A, Due to the holomorphic assumption we have, again, P ī = (ī = z, w). The dilatino variation thus reads P i ea i a Since the leftmost columns of a (a =1, 2) are zero, this vanishes for = 1 C A C A, 1 C A
63 Gravitino variation µ : Since the nonzero component of is only the first one, we are only concerned with the first columns of 1 = 2 = 1 = 2 = e 2 ( w w + z ) 2e 2 e ( w z )+e w e 2 e ( w ) z w 2e 2 ( w + w z ) ((1, 1) component of 1 ) ((1, 1) component of 2 ), Since the ``Bismut-like" connection contains, besides the spin connection, only Q µ which is U(1), the gravitino variations vanish only if the off-diagonal components (of the first columns) do,,
64 SUSY transformations: µ = 1 µ = i P µ µ 1 i 4 µ 2 Q µ Since the Bismut-like connection contains, besides the spin connection, only Q µ which is U(1), the gravitino variations vanish only if the off-diagonal components (of the first columns) do e ( w z )+e w = and w + w z = They are equivalent to w(e + e ) = z (e ) and or w(e ) = z e ig jī = j g iī, īg ji = jg īi Kähler (1) (2) That the system of equations (1) (2) has a solution can be confirmed by expanding them in the coordinates and showing that the coefficients are determined order by order in this expansion

If one starts from the E 7 singularity, one obtains the same chiral matter content as the E 7 / (xu(1) 3 ) Kugo- Yanagida model yielding precisely three generations with an UNPARALLEL family structure!!!
67 Kugo-Yanagida in F-theory * 5* 1 1 U(1) 5* 5 U(1) 1 U(1) To get a 4D theory, we still need to compactify on T 2 and take an orbifold

69 Sato-Yanagida s scenario is naturally realized in F-theory family unification! Necessary Frogatt-Nielsen fields naturally arise if we consider the branching of E8 singularity!
70 5 SUMMARY
71 Summary We have shown that a certain local 7-brane system in F theory can realize, already at the level of six dimensions, the same quantum numbers as that of the SUSY nonlinear sigma model considered in family unification If half of the spectrum is projected out, then it becomes precisely what we observe in nature The massless spectrum was studied by investigating We considered a set of coalesced local 7-branes of a particular singularity type and allowed some of the branes to bend and separate from the rest string junctions near the intersection and shown to be the same as the sigma model
