Abstract

We begin with an E8×E8E_{8}\times E_{8} Heterotic model broken to an SU(5)gaugeSU(5)_{gauge} and a mirror SU(5)gaugeSU(5)_{gauge}, where one SU(5)SU(5) and its spectrum is identified as the visible sector while the other can be identified as a hidden mirror world. In both cases we obtain the minimal supersymmetric standard model spectrum after Wilson-line symmetry-breaking enhanced by a low energy R-parity enforced by a local (or global) U(1)XU(1)_{X}-symmetry. Using Heterotic/FF-theory duality, we show how to eliminate the vector-like exotics which were obtained in previous constructions. In these constructions, the Calabi-Yau {[}CY{]} four-fold was defined by an elliptic fibration with section over a base B3B_{3} and a GUT surface given by K3/Z2=K3/\mathbb{Z}_{2}= Enriques surface. In the present paper we construct a quotient CY four-fold fibered by tori with two elliptic structures given by a a pair of sections fibered over the Enriques surface. Using Heterotic/FF-theory duality we are able to define the cohomologies used to derive the massless spectrum. Our model for the 'correct' FF-theory dual of a Heterotic model with Wilson-line symmetry-breaking builds on prior literature but employs the stack-theoretic version of the dictionary between the Heterotic semi-stable E8E_{8}-bundles with Yang-Mills connection and the dP9dP_{9}-fibrations used to construct the FF-theory dual.
