In a class of F-theory SU(5) GUTs the low energy chiral mass spectrum is obtained from rank one fermion mass textures with a hierarchical structure organised by U(1) symmetries embedded in the exceptional E_8 group. In these theories chiral…

We study six-dimensional (6D) SU(6) supersymmetric models where the doublet-triplet splitting, quark-lepton mass relations and gaugino-mediated supersymmetry breaking are taken into account. We find that effective 4D gauge coupling…
F-theory is one of the frameworks where all the Yukawa couplings of grand unified theories are generated and their computation is possible. The Yukawa couplings of charged matter multiplets are supposed to be generated around codimension-3…
We use the operator formalism to derive the bosonic contribution to the twisted open string partition function in toroidal compactifications. This amplitude describes, for instance, the planar interaction between g+1 magnetized or…
We study fermion zero-mode wave functions with various chiralities in magnetized $T^{2g}$, $(g=2,3)$ torus. First, we consider the wave functions satisfying the Dirac equation and the boundary conditions on the magnetized torus. Second, we…
We propose a scenario to obtain non-trivial Yukawa coupling matrices for the quark-lepton mass generation in supersymmetric intersecting D-brane models in type IIA T^6/Z_2 x Z_2 orientifold. As an example, an explicit model is constructed…
We clarify the structure of Yukawa couplings and mass matrices for matter fields in heterotic string theory on smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds with standard embedding. The topological structure of Calabi-Yau threefolds leads to interesting…
Superstring theories are the most promising theories for unified description of all fundamental interactions including gravity. However, these theories are formulated consistently only in 10 spacetime dimensions. Therefore, to connect to…
The IKKT model is proposed as a non-perturbative formulation of superstring theory. We propose a Dirac operator on the noncommutative torus,which is consistent with the IKKT model, based on noncommutative geometry. Next, we consider…
Strong gauge and top-Yukawa couplings predicted in the presence of extra dimensions lead to a trickle-down effect of the top-coupling through the renormalization group equations for the quark Yukawa matrices. The matrix elements for the u…
