Z_{12-I} Orbifold Compactification toward SUSY Standard Model

We explain the orbifold compactification in string models and present a Z_{12-I} orbifold compactification toward supersymmetric standard models. We also point out an effective R-parity from this string construction. The VEVs of gauge singlets are chosen such that phenomenological constraints are satisfied.Comment: 13 pages with 5 figure.

Uniqueness of convex ancient solutions to mean curvature flow in higher dimensions

In this paper, we consider noncompact ancient solutions to the mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ ($n \geq 3$) which are strictly convex, uniformly two-convex, and noncollapsed. We prove that such an ancient solution is a rotationally symmetric translating soliton.Comment: In this paper, we extend the result in arxiv:1711.00823 to higher dimensions, assuming uniform two-convexit

Supersymmetric three family chiral SU(6) grand unification model from F-theory

We obtain a supersymmetric three family chiral SU(6) grand unification model with the global family symmetry SU(3)[family] from F-theory. This model has nice features such as all the fermion masses are reasonably generated and there results only one pair of Higgs doublets, realizing the doublet-triplet splitting from the family symmetry SU(3)[family]. The proton hexality is realized toward the proton stability problem. There is a room to fit the three gauge couplings using the F-theory flux idea and we obtain the proton lifetime in the 10^{36-37} yr region.Comment: 5 pages, to be published in Phys. Rev.

Cosmological constant is probably adjustable in brane worlds

In the brane world scenario, possessing the self-tuning property of the cosmological constant, we study the probability amplitude for an initial state of the Universe to transform to final states with some curvatures. In the Kim, Kyae and Lee model, there exists a finite range of parameters such that the transition amplitude to a near flat universe is exponentially dominated by the smallness of curvature, > e^{positive number}/{Lambda-bar}^2}, i.e. is dominated by an almost flat universe of |Lambda-bar|<epsilon.Comment: 6 pages with 2 figure
