Using techniques of algorithmic algebraic geometry, we present a new and efficient method for explicitly computing the vacuum space of N=1 gauge theories. We emphasize the importance of finding special geometric properties of these spaces in connecting phenomenology to guiding principles descending from high-energy physics. We exemplify the method by addressing various subsectors of the MSSM. In particular the geometry of the vacuum space of electroweak theory is described in detail, with and without right-handed neutrinos. We discuss the impact of our method on the search for evidence of underlying physics at a higher energy. Finally we describe how our results can be used to rule out certain top-down constructions of electroweak physics.

  1. Vacuum Geometry of the Standard Model

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The vacuum moduli space of the MSSM is shown to consist of three rational components of dimensions 1, 15, and 29 via Gröbner basis computations.

  2. Birational Transformations and 2d (0,2) Quiver Gauge Theories beyond Toric Fano 3-folds

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Mass deformations of 2d (0,2) brane brick models are shown in four explicit examples to implement birational transformations of toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds, including non-reflexive toric diagrams.
