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…
The Asymptotic Weak Gravity Conjecture for Open Strings
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…
Spin(7) Orientifolds and 2d Triality
Sebastián Franco, Alessandro Mininno, Ángel M. Uranga +1
We present a new, geometric perspective on the recently proposed triality of 2d gauge theories, based on its engineering in terms of D1-branes probing Spin(7) o…
Systematics of perturbatively flat flux vacua for CICYs
Federico Carta, Alessandro Mininno, Pramod Shukla
In this paper, we extend the analysis of scanning the perturbatively flat flux vacua (PFFV) for the type IIB orientifold compactifications on the mirror of the projective complete…
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…
