Abstract

Following the scanning methods of arXiv:1910.04530, we for the first time systematically construct the N=1N=1 supersymmetric SU(12)C×SU(2)L×SU(2)RSU(12)_C\times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R models, SU(4)C×SU(6)L×SU(2)RSU(4)_C\times SU(6)_L\times SU(2)_R models, and SU(4)C×SU(2)L×SU(6)RSU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L\times SU(6)_R models from the Type IIA orientifolds on T6/(Z2×Z2)\bf T^6/(\mathbb Z_2\times \mathbb Z_2) with intersecting D6-branes. These gauge symmetries can be broken down to the Pati-Salam gauge symmetry SU(4)C×SU(2)L×SU(2)RSU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R via three SU(12)C/SU(6)L/SU(6)RSU(12)_C/SU(6)_L/SU(6)_R adjoint representation Higgs fields, and further down to the Standard Model (SM) via the D-brane splitting and Higgs mechanism. Also, we obtain three families of the SM fermions, and have the left-handed and right-handed three-family SM fermion unification in the SU(12)C×SU(2)L×SU(2)RSU(12)_C\times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R models, the left-handed three-family SM fermion unification in the SU(4)C×SU(6)L×SU(2)RSU(4)_C\times SU(6)_L\times SU(2)_R models, and the right-handed three-family SM fermion unification in the SU(4)C×SU(2)L×SU(6)RSU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L\times SU(6)_R models. Moreover, the SU(4)C×SU(6)L×SU(2)RSU(4)_C\times SU(6)_L\times SU(2)_R models and SU(4)C×SU(2)L×SU(6)RSU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L\times SU(6)_R models are related by the left and right gauge symmetry exchanging, as well as a variation of type II T-duality. Furthermore, the hidden sector contains USp(n)USp(n) branes, which are parallel with the orientifold planes or their Z2Z_2 images and might break the supersymmetry via gaugino condensations.
