Chiral spectrum of the universal tuned 4D F-theory model
Patrick Jefferson, Washington Taylor, Andrew P. Turner
We use the recently developed methods of 2108.07810 to analyze vertical flux backgrounds and associated chiral matter spectra in the 4D universal $(\text{SU}(3) \times \text{SU}(2)…
Generating functions for intersection products of divisors in resolved F-theory models
Patrick Jefferson, Andrew P. Turner
Building on the approach of 1703.00905, we present an efficient algorithm for computing topological intersection numbers of divisors in a broad class of elliptic fibrations with th…
Identifying equivalent Calabi--Yau topologies: A discrete challenge from math and physics for machine learning
Vishnu Jejjala, Washington Taylor, Andrew Turner
We review briefly the characteristic topological data of Calabi--Yau threefolds and focus on the question of when two threefolds are equivalent through related topological data. Th…
Disorder Averaging and its UV (Dis)Contents
Jonathan J. Heckman, Andrew P. Turner, Xingyang Yu
We present a stringy realization of quantum field theory ensembles in spacetime dimensions, thus realizing a disorder averaging over coupling constants. When each member…
Orders of Vanishing and U(1) Charges in F-theory
Nikhil Raghuram, Andrew P. Turner
Many interesting questions about F-theory models, including several concerning the F-theory swampland, involve massless matter charged under U(1) gauge symmetries. It is therefore…
Flavor Symmetries and Automatic Enhancement in the 6d Supergravity Swampland
Mirjam Cvetic, Ling Lin, Andrew P. Turner
We argue for the quantum-gravitational inconsistency of certain 6d supergravity theories, whose anomaly-free gauge algebra and hypermultiplet spe…
Chiral matter multiplicities and resolution-independent structure in 4D F-theory models
Patrick Jefferson, Washington Taylor, Andrew P. Turner
Motivated by questions related to the landscape of flux compactifications, we combine new and existing techniques into a systematic, streamlined approach for computing vertical flu…
Automatic Enhancement in 6D Supergravity and F-theory Models
Nikhil Raghuram, Washington Taylor, Andrew P. Turner
We observe that in many F-theory models, tuning a specific gauge group and matter content under certain circumstances leads to an automatic enhancement to a larger gauge gr…
Statistical coupling constants from hidden sector entanglement
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jonathan J. Heckman, Elliot Lipeles +1
String theory predicts that the couplings of Nature descend from dynamical fields. All known string-motivated particle physics models also come with a wide range of possible extra…
Data-driven quark and gluon jet modification in heavy-ion collisions
Jasmine Brewer, Jesse Thaler, Andrew P. Turner
Whether quark- and gluon-initiated jets are modified differently by the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions is a long-standing question that has thus far eluded a d…
General F-theory models with tuned symmetry
Nikhil Raghuram, Washington Taylor, Andrew P. Turner
We construct a general form for an F-theory Weierstrass model over a general base giving a 6D or 4D supergravity theory with gauge group $(\operatorname{SU}(3) \times \operatorname…
Optical analogues to the Kerr-Newman black hole
R. A. Tinguely, Andrew P. Turner
Optical analogues to black holes allow the investigation of general relativity in a laboratory setting. Previous works have considered analogues to Schwarzschild black holes in an…
Generic construction of the Standard Model gauge group and matter representations in F-theory
Washington Taylor, Andrew P. Turner
We describe general classes of 6D and 4D F-theory models with gauge group . We prove t…
Generic matter representations in 6D supergravity theories
Washington Taylor, Andrew P. Turner
In six-dimensional supergravity, there is a natural sense in which matter lying in certain representations of the gauge group is "generic," in the sense that other "exotic" matter…
An infinite swampland of U(1) charge spectra in 6D supergravity theories
Washington Taylor, Andrew P. Turner
We analyze the anomaly constraints on 6D supergravity theories with a single abelian U(1) gauge factor. For theories with charges restricted to and no tensor multi…
The graphic nature of the symmetric group
J. L. Brumbaugh, Madeleine Bulkow, Luis Alberto Garcia +3
We investigate a remarkable class of exponential sums which are derived from the symmetric groups and which display a diverse array of visually appealing features. Our interest in…
Supercharacters, exponential sums, and the uncertainty principle
J. L. Brumbaugh, Madeleine Bulkow, Patrick S. Fleming +6
The theory of supercharacters, which generalizes classical character theory, was recently introduced by P. Diaconis and I.M. Isaacs, building upon earlier work of C. Andre. We stud…
