A note on transition in discrete gauge groups in F-theory
arXiv:1907.13503 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X20501444
Abstract
We observe a new puzzling physical phenomenon in F-theory on the multisection geometry, wherein a model without a gauge group transitions to another model with a discrete gauge group via Higgsing. This phenomenon may suggest an unknown aspect of F-theory compactification on multisection geometry lacking a global section. A possible interpretation of this puzzling physical phenomenon is proposed in this note. We also propose a possible interpretation of another unnatural physical phenomenon observed for F-theory on four-section geometry, wherein a discrete gauge group transitions to a discrete gauge group via Higgsing as described in the previous literature.
