We review particle physics model building in type IIB string theory and F-theory. This is a
region in the landscape where in principle many of the key ingredients required for a …

These lecture notes are devoted to formal and phenomenological aspects of F-theory. We
begin with a pedagogical introduction to the general concepts of F-theory, covering classic …

A bstract We study the charged chiral matter spectrum of four-dimensional F-theory
compactifications on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds by using the dual M-theory …

A bstract We use the resolution procedure of Esole and Yau [1] to study Yukawa couplings,
G-flux, and the emergence of spectral covers from elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau's with a …

The four-dimensional N= 1 effective action of F-theory compactified on a Calabi–Yau
fourfold is studied by lifting a three-dimensional M-theory compactification. The lift is …

We construct a set of chirality inducing G4-fluxes in global F-theory compactifications on
Calabi–Yau four-folds. Special emphasis is put on models with gauge group SU (5)× U (1) X …

We construct explicit G4 fluxes in F-theory compactifications. Our method relies on
identifying algebraic cycles in the Weierstrass equation of elliptic Calabi–Yau fourfolds. We …

A bstract An algorithm to systematically construct all Calabi-Yau elliptic fibrations realized as
hypersurfaces in a toric ambient space for a given base and gauge group is described. This …

A bstract We study F-theory compactifications with U (1)× U (1) gauge symmetry on
elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds with a rank two Mordell-Weil group. We find that the …

A bstract We develop geometric techniques to determine the spectrum and the chiral indices
of matter multiplets for four-dimensional F-theory compactifications on elliptic Calabi-Yau …
