We provide an overview of recent work which aims to understand patterns of vanishing Yukawa couplings that arise in models of particle physics derived from string theory. These patterns are seemingly linked to a plethora of different geometrical structures and our understanding of the subject has yet to be consolidated in a unified framework. This short note is based upon a talk that was given by one of the authors at the Nankai Symposium on Mathematical Dialogues. Therefore it is aimed at a mathematical audience of mixed academic background.

摘要

We provide an overview of recent work which aims to understand patterns of vanishing Yukawa couplings that arise in models of particle physics derived from string theory. These patterns are seemingly linked to a plethora of different geometrical structures and our understanding of the subject has yet to be consolidated in a unified framework. This short note is based upon a talk that was given by one of the authors at the Nankai Symposium on Mathematical Dialogues. Therefore it is aimed at a mathematical audience of mixed academic background.
