M-theory and T-geometry: Higgs branch moduli and charged matter

Marwan Najjar

M-theory geometric engineering on manifolds of special holonomy yields a rich class of novel field theories. In this paper, we construct new 3d and $\mathcal…

Aspects of 4d gauge theories from M-theory: decomposition, automorphisms, and generalised symmetries

Osama Khlaif, Marwan Najjar

We study the decomposition of 4d gauge theories with Lie algebras of type , , and , realized via M-theory geo…

Modified instanton sum and 4-group structure in 4d SYM from holography

Marwan Najjar

We study the decomposition of the holographic 4d gauge theory with in the Klebanov-Strassler set-up. In particular, we propose a consistent framework for de…

Confinement of 3d Gauge Theories from M-theory on CY4

Marwan Najjar, Yi-Nan Wang

In this work, we present a new geometric transition in non-compact Calabi-Yau 4-folds, specifically for the cone over the 7d Sasaki-Einstein manifold $Q^{\scriptscriptstyle(1,1,1)}…

(-1)-form symmetries from M-theory and SymTFTs

Marwan Najjar, Leonardo Santilli, Yi-Nan Wang

We explore -form symmetries within the framework of geometric engineering in M-theory. By constructing the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) for selected 5d $\mathca…

3d theories from M-theory on CY4 and IIB brane box

Marwan Najjar, Jiahua Tian, Yi-Nan Wang

We study 3D supersymmetric field theories geometrically engineered from M-theory on non-compact Calabi-Yau fourfolds (CY4). We establish a detailed dictionary between the geo…

Gauging Discrete Symmetries of -theories in Five Dimensions

Bobby Acharya, Neil Lambert, Marwan Najjar +2

We study the gauging of a discrete symmetry in the five-dimensional superconformal theories. We argue that this leads to an infinite sequence of five-dimension…

New -conifolds in -theory and their Field Theory Interpretation

Bobby Samir Acharya, Lorenzo Foscolo, Marwan Najjar +1

A recent theorem of Foscolo-Haskins-Nordström which constructs complete -holonomy orbifolds from circle bundles over Calabi-Yau cones can be utilised to construct and investig…
