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…
