We continue our study of the low energy implications of $M$ theory vacua on ${G}_{2}$-manifolds, undertaken in B. S. Acharya, K. Bobkov, G. L. Kane, P. Kumar, and J. Shao, Phys. Rev. D 76, 126010 (2007); B. Acharya, K. Bobkov, G. Kane, P. Kumar, and D. Vaman, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 191601 (2006), where it was shown that the moduli can be stabilized and a TeV scale generated, with the Planck scale as the only dimensionful input. A well-motivated phenomenological model, the ${G}_{2}$-MSSM, can be…

Recent work has shown that compactifications of F-theory provide a potentially attractive phenomenological scenario. The low energy characteristics of F-theory GUTs consist of a deformation away from
String/M theory is formulated in 10 and 11 space-time dimensions; in order to describe our universe, we must postulate that six or seven of the spatial dimensions form a small compact manifold. In

We give an explicit realization of the “StringAxiverse” discussed in Arvanitaki et. al [1] by extending our previous results on moduli stabilization in M theory to include axions. We extend the
This thesis focuses on low-energy particle phenomenology arising from G2 compactifications of M theory. We construct a supersymmetric SO(10) model that can be naturally realised in this framework. An
