Description
We give a proof of the existence of G=SU(5), stable holomorphic vector bundles on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds with fundamental group Z2. The bundles we construct have Euler characteristic 3 and an anomaly that can be absorbed by M-theory five-branes. Such bundles provide the basis for constructing the standard model in heterotic M-theory. They are also applicable to vacua of the weakly coupled heterotic string. We explicitly present a class of three family models with gauge group SU(3)CxSU(2)LxU(1)Y. (author)
