The Complete Search for the Supersymmetric Pati-Salam Models from Intersecting D6-Branes
Abstract
We construct a systematic method to build all the possible three-family N=1 supersymmetric Pati-Salam models from Type IIA orientifolds on T6/(Z2× Z2) with intersecting D6-branes, in which the SU(4)C× SU(2)L × SU(2)R gauge symmetry can be broken down to the SU(3)C × SU(2)L × U(1)Y Standard Model gauge symmetry by the D-brane splitting and supersymmetry preserving Higgs mechanism. This is essentially achieved by solving all the common solutions for the RR tadpole cancellation conditions, N=1 supersymmetry conditions, and three generation conditions with deterministic algorithm. We find that there are 202752 possible supersymmetric Pati-Salam models in total, and show that there are only 33 independent models with different gauge coupling relations at string scale after modding out equivalent relations, such as T-dualities, etc. In particular, there is one and only one independent model which has gauge coupling unification. Furthermore, one can construct other types of intersecting D-brane models utilizing such deterministic algorithm, and therefore we suggest a brand new method for D-brane model building.
