Abstract

We obtain a three generational SU(3)_c× SU(3)_w × U(1)⁴× [SO(12)× U(1)²]^′ model from an orbifold construction with the requirement that three generations arise from twisted sectors. There exist supersymmetric vacua realizing the standard model. In one example the anomalous U(1) breaks the gauge symmetry down to SU(3)_c× SU(2)_w× U(1)_Y× SO(12)^′.
