: We give a general description of gauge symmetry breaking using vertical and remainder ﬂuxes in 4D F-theory models. The ﬂuxes can break a geometric gauge group to a smaller group and induce chiral matter, even when the larger group admits no chiral matter representations. We focus speciﬁcally on applications to realizations of the Standard Model gauge group and chiral matter spectrum through breaking of rigid exceptional gauge groups E 7 , E 6 , which are ubiquitous in the 4D F-theory…
