R-parity violation in F-theory

Abstract

We discuss R-parity violation (RPV) in semi-local and local F-theory constructions. We first present a detailed analysis of all possible combinations of RPV operators arising from semi-local F-theory spectral cover constructions, assuming an SU(5) GUT. We provide a classification of all possible allowed combinations of RPV operators originating from operators of the form 10 ·5 ·5, including the effect of U(1) fluxes with global restrictions. We then relax the global constraints and perform explicit computations of the bottom/tau and RPV Yukawa couplings, at an SO(12) local point of enhancement in the presence of general fluxes subject only to local flux restrictions. We compare our results to the experimental limits on each allowed RPV operator, and show that operators such as LLe c , LQd c and u c d c d c may be present separately within current bounds, possibly on the edge of observability, suggesting lepton number violation or neutron-antineutron oscillations could constrain F-theory models.

A Remote Assay for Measuring Canine Platelet Activation and the Inhibitory Effects of Antiplatelet Agents

“…1,2 Dogs with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA), hyperadrenocorticism, those receiving exogenous corticosteroids, protein-losing nephropathies (PLN), various neoplastic and infectious diseases, pancreatitis, and enteropathies are at increased risk of thromboembolic complications from altered platelet activity. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Antiplatelet medication is often prescribed to reduce the likelihood of clot formation. 2,11,12 Despite antiplatelet medication being considered by many veterinarians as standard of care, the choice of agent and the effective dose in individual animals remain unclear.…”

On the LHC signatures of $$SU(5)\times U(1)'$$ F-theory motivated models

“…One can impose an R-symmetry by hand [47] or to investigate the geometric origin of discrete Z N symmetries that can eliminate such operators [55][56][57][58]. In addition, the study of such Yukawa coefficients at a local-level, shows that they can be suppressed for wide regions of the flux parameter space [59]. Since in this work we focus mostly in Z flavour changing effects, 7 we will assume that one of the aforementioned mechanisms protects the models from unwanted RPV terms.…”

“…Of course, larger M, N values are also possible. They may imply different numbers of SM representations on matter curves but will not lead to new types of splittings[7] other than those ofTable 1.…”
