Abstract
A systematic analysis is presented of compactifications of the type IIB superstring on where is a non-Abelian discrete group. Every possible with order is considered. 45 such groups exist but a majority cannot yield chiral fermions due to a certain theorem that is proved. The lowest order to embrace the non-SUSY standard model with three chiral families is with this is the only successful model found in the search. The consequent uniqueness of the successful model arises primarily from the scalar sector, prescribed by the construction, being sufficient to allow the correct symmetry breakdown.
