Decomposition, condensation defects, and fusion
Ling Lin, Daniel G. Robbins, Eric Sharpe
In this paper we outline the application of decomposition to condensation defects and their fusion rules. Briefly, a condensation defect is obtained by gauging a higher-form symmet…

6d SCFTs, Center-Flavor Symmetries, and Stiefel--Whitney Compactifications
Jonathan J. Heckman, Craig Lawrie, Ling Lin +2
The center-flavor symmetry of a gauge theory specifies the global form of consistent gauge and flavor bundle background field configurations. For 6d gauge theories which arise from…

One Loop to Rule Them All: Eight and Nine Dimensional String Vacua from Junctions
Mirjam Cvetic, Markus Dierigl, Ling Lin +1
String and 5-brane junctions are shown to succinctly classify all known 8d =1 string vacua. This requires an extension of the description for ordinary -7-branes to…
