Exploring the orthosymplectic zoo

Mohammad Akhond, Federico Carta, Siddharth Dwivedi +3

We study the Higgs branch of the SCFT limit of 5d SO(6) and SO(8) gauge theory with hypermultiplets in the spinor and vector representations. In the case of SO(6) gauge theories, w…

Divisor topologies of CICY 3-folds and their applications to phenomenology

Federico Carta, Alessandro Mininno, Pramod Shukla

In this article, we present a classification for the divisor topologies of the projective complete intersection Calabi-Yau (pCICY) 3-folds realized as hypersurfaces in the product…

Conformal Manifolds and 3d Mirrors of Argyres-Douglas theories

Federico Carta, Simone Giacomelli, Noppadol Mekareeya +1

Argyres-Douglas theories constitute an important class of superconformal field theories in d. The main focus of this paper is on two infinite families of such theories, known as…

Factorised 3d orthosymplectic quivers

Mohammad Akhond, Federico Carta, Siddharth Dwivedi +3

We study the moduli space of 3d quiver gauge theories with unitary, orthogonal and symplectic gauge nodes, that fall into exceptional sequences. We find that both t…

Gopakumar-Vafa Hierarchies in Winding Inflation and Uplifts

Federico Carta, Alessandro Mininno, Nicole Righi +1

We propose a combined mechanism to realize both winding inflation and de Sitter uplifts. We realize the necessary structure of competing terms in the scalar potential not via tunin…

Resolving spacetime singularities in flux compactifications & KKLT

Federico Carta, Jakob Moritz

In flux compactifications of type IIB string theory with D3 and seven-branes, the negative induced D3 charge localized on seven-branes leads to an apparently pathological profile o…
