Z2× Z2$ orbifold compactification as the origin of realistic free fermionic models
Abstract
I discuss the correspondence between realistic four dimensional free fermionic models and Z2× Z2 orbifold compactification. %I illustrate this correspondence for one particular example. I discuss the properties of the Z2× Z2 orbifold that are reflected in the realistic free fermionic models. I argue that the properties of the realistic free fermionic models arise due to the underlying Z2× Z2 orbifold compactification with nontrivial background fields. I suggest that three generation is a natural outcome of Z2× Z2 orbifold compactification with ``standard embedding'' and at the point in compactification space that corresponds to the free fermionic formulation. I discuss how quark flavor mixing is related to the compactification.
