On Instanton Superpotentials, Calabi-Yau Geometry, and Fibrations

Lara B. Anderson, Fabio Apruzzi, Xin Gao +2

In this paper we explore contributions to non-perturbative superpotentials arising from instantons wrapping effective divisors in smooth Calabi-Yau four-folds. We concentrate on th…

General Solution of the Scattering Equations

Louise Dolan, Peter Goddard

The scattering equations, originally introduced by Fairlie and Roberts in 1972 and more recently shown by Cachazo, He and Yuan to provide a kinematic basis for describing tree ampl…

F-theory and the Classification of Little Strings

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Michele Del Zotto, Jonathan J. Heckman +3

Little string theories (LSTs) are UV complete non-local 6D theories decoupled from gravity in which there is an intrinsic string scale. In this paper we present a systematic approa…

Flux Formulation of DFT on Group Manifolds and Generalized Scherk-Schwarz Compactifications

Pascal du Bosque, Falk Hassler, Dieter Lust

A flux formulation of Double Field Theory on group manifold is derived and applied to study generalized Scherk-Schwarz compactifications, which give rise to a bosonic subsector of…

Cosmic bubble and domain wall instabilities II: Fracturing of colliding walls

Jonathan Braden, J. Richard Bond, Laura Mersini-Houghton

We study collisions between nearly planar domain walls including the effects of small initial nonplanar fluctuations. These perturbations represent the small fluctuations that must…

Evidence for C-theorems in 6D SCFTs

Jonathan J. Heckman, Tom Rudelius

Using the recently established classification of 6D SCFTs we present evidence for the existence of families of weak C-functions, that is, quantities which decrease in a flow from t…

On the Defect Group of a 6D SCFT

Michele Del Zotto, Jonathan J. Heckman, Daniel S. Park +1

We use the F-theory realization of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) to study the corresponding spectrum of stringlike, i.e. surface defects. On the tensor branch, all of th…

Atomic Classification of 6D SCFTs

Jonathan J. Heckman, David R. Morrison, Tom Rudelius +1

We use F-theory to classify possibly all six-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs). This involves a two step process: We first classify all possible tensor branches all…
