Abstract

A Z₃ orbifold compactification of E₈ x E ₈′ heterotic string is considered toward a trinification SU(3)³ with three light families. The GUT scale VEVs of the SU(2)_W x U(1)_Y x SU(3)_c singlet chiral fields in two sets of the trinification spectrum allow an acceptable symmetry breaking pattern toward MSSM. We show that a doublet-triplet splitting is related to the absence of a ΔB nonzero operator.
