We study crepant resolutions of Weierstrass models of $text{SU}(2)!times!text{SU}(3)$-models, whose gauge group describes the non-abelian sector of the Standard Model. The $text{SU}(2)!times!text{SU}(3)$-models are elliptic fibrations characterized by the collision of two Kodaira fibers with dual graphs that are affine Dynkin diagrams of type $widetilde{text{A}}_1$ and $widetilde{text{A}}_2$. Once we eliminate those collisions that do not have crepant resolutions, we are left with six distinct collisions that are related to each other by deformations. Each of these six collisions has eight distinct crepant resolutions whose flop diagram is a hexagon with two legs attached to two adjacent nodes. Hence, we consider 48 distinct resolutions that are connected to each other by deformations and flops. We determine topological invariants---such as Euler characteristics, Hodge numbers, and triple intersections of fibral divisors---for each of the crepant resolutions. We analyze the physics of these fibrations when used as compactifications of M-theory and F-theory on Calabi--Yau threefolds yielding 5d ${mathcal N}=1$ and 6d ${mathcal N}=(1,0)$ supergravity theories respectively. We study the 5d prepotential in the Coulomb branch of the theory and check that the six-dimensional theory is anomaly-free and compatible with a 6d uplift from a 5d theory.
We discuss proton decay in a recently proposed model of supersymmetric hybrid inflation based on the gauge symmetry $SU(4)_c times SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R$. A $U(1), R$ symmetry plays an essential role in realizing inflation as well as in eliminating s
We explore the sparticle mass spectra including LSP dark matter within the framework of supersymmetric $SU(4)_c times SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R$ (422) models, taking into account the constraints from extensive LHC and cold dark matter searches. The soft
The next to leading order chiral corrections to the $SU(2)times SU(2)$ Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner (GMOR) relation are obtained using the pseudoscalar correlator to five-loop order in perturbative QCD, together with new finite energy sum rules (FESR) inco
We compute characteristic numbers of crepant resolutions of Weierstrass models corresponding to elliptically fibered fourfolds $Y$ dual in F-theory to a gauge theory with gauge group $G$. In contrast to the case of fivefolds, Chern and Pontryagin num
An extra $SU(2)_D$ gauge factor is added to the well-known left-right extension of the standard model (SM) of quarks and leptons. Under $SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R times SU(2)_D$, two fermion bidoublets $(2,1,2)$ and $(1,2,2)$ are assumed. The resulting m
