F-Theory with Quantized Fluxes
Michael Bershadsky, Tony Pantev, Vladimir Sadov
We present evidence that the CHL string in eight dimensions is dual to F-theory compactified on an elliptic K3 with a monodromy group. The monodromy group all…
F Theory on K3xK3 and Instantons on 7-branes
Michael Bershadsky, Vladimir Sadov
We discuss N=2 supersymmetric compactifications to four dimensions from the point of view of F-theory and heterotic theory. In a relatively simple setup, we illustrate the spectral…
On Four-Dimensional Compactifications of F-Theory
Michael Bershadsky, Andrey Johansen, Tony Pantev +1
Branches of moduli space of F-theory in four dimensions are investigated. The transition between two branches is described as a 3-brane-instanton transition on a 7-brane. A dual he…
F-theory, Geometric Engineering and N=1 Dualities
M. Bershadsky, A. Johansen, T. Pantev +2
We consider geometric engineering of N=1 supersymmetric QFTs with matter in terms of a local model for compactification of F-theory on Calabi-Yau fourfold. By bringing 3-branes nea…
Generalized Green-Schwarz mechanism in F theory
Vladimir Sadov
We derive the anomaly 8-form of 6-dimensional gauge theories arising in F theory compactifications on elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds. The result allows to determine the matter cont…
Geometric Singularities and Enhanced Gauge Symmetries
M. Bershadsky, K. Intriligator, S. Kachru +3
Using ``Tate's algorithm,'' we identify loci in the moduli of F-theory compactifications corresponding to enhanced gauge symmetry. We apply this to test the proposed F-theory/heter…
