Description

The structure of the Standard Model strongly suggests that it is embedded into Grand Unification based on groups of E_n series. Compactification of string theory naturally realise such relation yielding the gauge group, matter spectrum and Yukawa interactions. We focus on SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) embedding of Standard Model in F-theory and learn features contrasted to field theoretic unification.
