We analyse local models at the point of E_8 in F-theory GUTs and identify exactly two models with potentially realistic properties concerning proton stability and a suitable pattern of quark and lepton masses. To this end we identify a matter parity at the local point. A globally consistent ultraviolet completion turns out to be problematic for both models. It is impossible to embed the models in a semilocal scheme via the spectral cover approach. This seems to severely limit the predictive power of local model building and to indicate that the full string theory might give us valuable hints for particle physics model building.

The paper
Original abstract
We analyse local models at the point of E_8 in F-theory GUTs and identify exactly two models with potentially realistic properties concerning proton stability and a suitable pattern of quark and lepton masses. To this end we identify a matter parity at the local point. A globally consistent ultraviolet completion turns out to be problematic for both models. It is impossible to embed the models in a semilocal scheme via the spectral cover approach. This seems to severely limit the predictive power of local model building and to indicate that the full string theory might give us valuable hints for particle physics model building.

Present studies on F-theory model building have been concentrated on three generation -mainly $SU(5)$- GUT models which fall into the following two distinct categories: those where all three families with the same Standard Model representation content are assigned to a single matter curve [ref] , and variants [ref] where some or all of the quark and lepton families are assigned to different curves.
