GUT's with Adjoint Higgs from Superstrings

TL;DR

This paper explores embedding grand unified theories with adjoint Higgs fields into string theory, focusing on classifying three-generation SO(10) SUSY-GUT models using free-fermionic string methods.

Abstract

I discuss how effective grand unified theories requiring adjoint Higgs fields for breaking to the standard model can be contained within string theory. Initial findings are presented in a search for and classification of effective three generation SO(10) SUSY-GUT models built using the free-fermionic string approach.
