Abstract
Root bundles appear prominently in studies of vector-like spectra of 4d F-theory compactifications. Of particular importance to phenomenology are the Quadrillion F-theory Standard Models (F-theory QSMs). In this work, we analyze a superset of the physical root bundles whose cohomologies encode the vector-like spectra for the matter representations (3,2)1/6, ($$ \overline{\textbf{3}} $$

).The QSM geometries come in families of toric 3-folds B3(∆°) obtained from triangulations of certain 3-dimensional polytopes ∆°. The matter curves in XΣ ∈ B3(∆°) can be deformed to nodal curves which are the same for all spaces in B3(∆°). Therefore, one can probe the vector-like spectra on the entire family B3(∆°) from studies of a few nodal curves. We compute the cohomologies of all limit roots on these nodal curves.In our applications, for the majority of limit roots the cohomologies are determined by line bundle cohomology on rational tree-like curves. For this, we present a computer algorithm. The remaining limit roots, corresponding to circuit-like graphs, are handled by hand. The cohomologies are independent of the relative position of the nodes, except for a few circuits. On these jumping circuits, line bundle cohomologies can jump if nodes are specially aligned. This mirrors classical Brill-Noether jumps. B3($$ {\Delta }_4^{{}^{\circ}} $$
