Abstract

Complex tetrahedral surface T\mathcal{T} is a non planar projective surface that is generated by four intersecting complex projective planes CP2CP^{2}. In this paper, we study the family {Tm}\{\mathcal{T}_{m}\} of blow ups of T\mathcal{T} and exhibit the link of these Tm\mathcal{T}_{m}s with the set of del Pezzo surfaces dPndP_{n} obtained by blowing up n isolated points in the CP2CP^{2}. The Tm\mathcal{T}_{m}s are toric surfaces exhibiting a U(1)×U(1)U(1) \times U(1) symmetry that may be used to engineer gauge symmetry enhancements in the Beasley-Heckman-Vafa theory. The blown ups of the tetrahedron have toric graphs with faces, edges and vertices where may localize respectively fields in adjoint representations, chiral matter and Yukawa tri-fields couplings needed for the engineering of F- theory GUT models building.
