F-theory compactifications on singular elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfolds provide an ideal framework to study supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories. Recent years have seen much progress in local F-theory model building. Understanding the global constraints for realizing local models are key in estabilishing a consistent F-theoretic realization. We will address these questions by analyzing the structure of the singular elliptic CY fourfolds, which form the geometric foundation for these compactification, as well as the construction of globally consistent G_4 flux.
