Allowed charges

i. Overview

Within SU(5) F-theory with 10d and 5-bar matter fields there are constraints on the allowed U(1) charges the fields can have. These constraints are determined in arXiv:1504.05593. They are related to the distinct configurations of the zero-section (`σ₀`) relativity to the additional rational section (`σ₁`s) in codimension one fiber. For our purposes here, we currently just state the constraints found in arXiv:1504.05593, and leave the proof and derivation of these constraints to future work.

ii. Key results

- `CodimensionOneConfig` : The distinct configurations of the zero-section (`σ₀`) relativity to the additional rational section (`σ₁`s) in the codimension one fiber, `I₅`. - `CodimensionOneConfig.allowedBarFiveCharges` : The allowed `U(1)`-charges of matter in the 5-bar representation of `SU(5)` given a `CodimensionOneConfig`. - `CodimensionOneConfig.allowedTenCharges` : The allowed `U(1)`-charges of matter in the 10d representation of `SU(5)` given a `CodimensionOneConfig`.

Codimension-one configurations of sections σ0\sigma_0 and σ1\sigma_1 in SU(5)SU(5) F-theory

This inductive type represents the set of distinct geometric configurations of the zero-section σ0\sigma_0 relative to the additional rational section σ1\sigma_1 within the codimension-one fiber (specifically an I5I_5 fiber) of an SU(5)SU(5) F-theory model. These configurations characterize how sections intersect the fiber components and are used to determine the allowed U(1)U(1) charges for matter fields in the 1010 and 5ˉ\bar{5} representations.

Decidability of equality for SU(5)SU(5) codimension-one configurations

This instance provides a procedure to determine whether two codimension-one configurations of sections σ0\sigma_0 and σ1\sigma_1 in an SU(5)SU(5) F-theory model are identical. Specifically, for any two configurations c1,c2CodimensionOneConfigc_1, c_2 \in \text{CodimensionOneConfig}, it is decidable whether c1=c2c_1 = c_2.

Finiteness of SU(5)SU(5) codimension-one configurations

The set of distinct geometric configurations of the zero-section σ0\sigma_0 and the additional rational section σ1\sigma_1 in the codimension-one fiber of an SU(5)SU(5) F-theory model, represented by the type CodimensionOneConfig\text{CodimensionOneConfig}, is finite. This finite set is explicitly given by the collection of configurations {same,nearestNeighbor,nextToNearestNeighbor}\{\text{same}, \text{nearestNeighbor}, \text{nextToNearestNeighbor}\}.

definition

Allowed U(1)U(1) charges for the 5ˉ\mathbf{\bar{5}} representation given a codimension-one configuration

This function assigns a finite set of integers representing the allowed U(1)U(1) charges for matter fields in the 5ˉ\mathbf{\bar{5}} representation of SU(5)SU(5) F-theory, based on the codimension-one configuration of the sections σ0\sigma_0 and σ1\sigma_1. For a given configuration cCodimensionOneConfigc \in \text{CodimensionOneConfig}, the set of allowed charges is defined as: - If cc is `same`, the set is {3,2,1,0,1,2,3}\{-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3\}. - If cc is `nearestNeighbor`, the set is {14,9,4,1,6,11}\{-14, -9, -4, 1, 6, 11\}. - If cc is `nextToNearestNeighbor`, the set is {13,8,3,2,7,12}\{-13, -8, -3, 2, 7, 12\}.

Allowed U(1)U(1) charges for the 1010 representation of SU(5)SU(5)

Given a codimension-one configuration II of the sections σ0\sigma_0 and σ1\sigma_1 in an SU(5)SU(5) F-theory model, this function returns the finite set of allowed U(1)U(1) charges for matter fields in the 1010 representation. The sets are defined based on the configuration II as follows: - If I=sameI = \text{same}, the set of allowed charges is {3,2,1,0,1,2,3}\{-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3\}. - If I=nearestNeighborI = \text{nearestNeighbor}, the set of allowed charges is {12,7,2,3,8,13}\{-12, -7, -2, 3, 8, 13\}. - If I=nextToNearestNeighborI = \text{nextToNearestNeighbor}, the set of allowed charges is {9,4,1,6,11}\{-9, -4, 1, 6, 11\}.
