Abstract

We construct a three family flipped SU(5) model from the heterotic string theory compactified on the Z12I\Z_{12-I} orbifold with one Wilson line. The gauge group is SU(5)×U(1)X×U(1)2×[SU(2)×SO(10)×U(1)2]\rm SU(5)\times U(1)_X\times U(1)^2\times[SU(2)\times SO(10)\times U(1)^2]^\prime. This model does not derive any nonabelian group except SU(5) from E8E_8, which is possible only for two cases in case of one shift VV, one in Z12I{\bf Z}_{12-I} and the other in Z12II{\bf Z}_{12-II}. We present all possible Yukawa couplings. We place the third quark family in the twisted sectors and two light quark families in the untwisted sector. From the Yukawa couplings, the model provides the R-parity, the doublet-triplet splitting, and one pair of Higgs doublets. It is also shown that quark and lepton mixings are possible. So far we have not encountered a serious phenomenological problem. There exist vectorlike flavor SU(5) exotics (including \Qem=±16\pm\frac16 color exotics and \Qem=±12\pm\frac12 electromagnetic exotics) and SU(5) vectorlike singlet exotics with \Qem=±12\pm\frac12 which can be removed near the GUT scale. In this model, sin2θW0=3/8{\rm sin}^2\theta_W^0={3/8} at the full unification scale.
