High Energy Physics seminar - Paul Oehlmann (Virginia Tech) "The Past, Present and Future of F-theory Model Building"

Paul Oehlmann (Virginia Tech) 10/1/18 HEP seminar speaker
October 1, 2018
3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
4138 Physics Research Building

Within the last 22 years, F-theory grew into a mature field  flexible enough to understand the vastest set of string vacua using powerful techniques of algebraic geometry.  Therefore F-theory is also of great interest for phenomenological applications whose sophistication grew together with the F-theory toolkit.  This presentation is intended to review this development from first local model building attempts, to today's global ones and their construction for non-experts.
