 Constraints on Standard Model Constructions in F-theory - Cody Long, Cornell University

I will argue that the following three statements cannot all be true: (i) our vacuum is a type IIB /F-theory vacuum at moderate-to-large h^{1,1}, (ii) the \alpha^\prime-expansion is controlled via the supergravityapproximation, and (iii) there are no additional gauged sectorsfrom seven-branes. I will motivate this in large-scale ensemble studies in F-theory, and discuss the possible phenomenological consequences.
