TheoPhysEval: Assessing AI agents at autonomous theoretical physics problem solving
A. Ramesh Chandra, Aaghaz Mahajan, Ainesh Sanyal +32
We present a suite of 50 unpublished research-level theoretical physics problems with verifiable answers. Without AI assistance, a typical problem in our collection could be solved…
Solver Agent: an Agentic AI Framework for Theoretical Physics Computations Applied to F-theory Uplifts of O3-planes and S-folds
Eliott Morgensztern, Cesar Fierro Cota, Alessandro Mininno
We introduce Solver Agent, an AI framework based on large language models for calculations and proofs in mathematics and theoretical physics. The solution process is tracked throug…
Discrete Gauging of 5d SCFTs
Guillermo Arias-Tamargo, Mario De Marco, Craig Lawrie +2
We study the gauging of discrete symmetries of the 5d rank-one SCFTs that fix the Coulomb branch coordinate but act nontrivially on the Higgs branch chiral ring. Using genera…
Learning to Trace Seiberg Dualities
Jonathan J. Heckman, Shani Meynet, Alessandro Mininno +1
Dualities play an important role in establishing both microscopic and emergent phenomena in a wide range of physical systems. In practice, though, it can often be computationally c…
Exploring Line Bundle Standard Models with Transformers
Jacky H. T. Yip, Alessandro Mininno, Gary Shiu
We propose a Transformer-based Reinforcement Learning architecture, "LB-Explorer", to search for heterotic line bundle standard models arising from compactifications on smooth Cala…
Expanding the Weak Gravity Conjecture in AdS Space
Puxin Lin, Alessandro Mininno, Gary Shiu
In this work, we investigate the extension of our recent proposal for the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) in AdS space to more general effective field theories. We first extend the c…
From Regular to Irregular: A Unified Origin for Argyres-Douglas Theories
Simone Giacomelli, William Harding, Noppadol Mekareeya +1

Discrete Gauging of 6d SCFTs and Wreathed 3d Quivers
Craig Lawrie, Thekla Lepper, Alessandro Mininno
We study the Higgs branch moduli space of certain 6d SCFTs after gauging their Green-Schwarz automorphism. We explain how to read the flavor symmetry of such…
Formulating the Weak Gravity Conjecture in AdS Space
Puxin Lin, Alessandro Mininno, Gary Shiu
We propose a version of the Weak Gravity Conjecture that applies to AdS spacetime. We find that the condition on the charge-to-mass ratio of a charged particle in AdS spacetime…

Simone Giacomelli, William Harding, Noppadol Mekareeya +1
A surprising relation between 4d class superconformal field theories of Type- and 6d orbi-instanton theories is investigated. W…
Discrete Global Symmetries: Gauging and Twisted Compactification
Simone Giacomelli, William Harding, Noppadol Mekareeya +1
Discrete global symmetries of 4d SCFTs are studied via two operations: gauging and twisted compactification. We consider gauging of discrete symmetries in several w…
The Minimal Weak Gravity Conjecture
Cesar Fierro Cota, Alessandro Mininno, Timo Weigand +1
We examine the minimal constraints imposed by the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) on the particle spectrum of a quantum gravity theory. Towers of super-extremal states have previousl…
Comments on Non-invertible Symmetries in Argyres-Douglas Theories
Federico Carta, Simone Giacomelli, Noppadol Mekareeya +1
We demonstrate the presence of non-invertible symmetries in an infinite family of superconformal Argyres-Douglas theories. This class of theories arises from diagonal gauging of th…
The Asymptotic Weak Gravity Conjecture in M-theory
Cesar Fierro Cota, Alessandro Mininno, Timo Weigand +1
The tower Weak Gravity Conjecture predicts infinitely many super-extremal states along every ray in the charge lattice of a consistent quantum gravity theory. We show this far-reac…
A tale of 2-groups: D(USp(2N)) theories
Federico Carta, Simone Giacomelli, Noppadol Mekareeya +1
A 1-form symmetry and a 0-form symmetry may combine to form an extension known as the 2-group symmetry. We find the presence of the latter in a class of Argyres-Douglas theories, c…

Cesar Fierro Cota, Alessandro Mininno, Timo Weigand +1
We investigate the asymptotic Tower Weak Gravity Conjecture in weak coupling limits of open string theories with minimal supersymmetry in four dimensions, focusing for definiteness…
Dynamical consequences of 1-form symmetries and the exceptional Argyres-Douglas theories
Federico Carta, Simone Giacomelli, Noppadol Mekareeya +1
Higher-form symmetries have proved useful in constraining the dynamics of a number of quantum field theories. In the context of the Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories of the ty…
