Non-invertible SPT phases from fusion rings via Tannaka duality

Antonio Santaniello, Roberto Valandro, Massimo Zorzenon

In a (1+1)-dimensional QFT with non-invertible symmetry, the fusion rules of topological lines are often the most accessible data, yet they do not fully determine whether the symme…

Moduli Stabilisation for ADD and the Dark Dimension Scenario

Andreas P. Braun, Michele Cicoli, Riccardo Milioli +1

We provide a moduli stabilisation mechanism for realising anisotropic string compactifications with one or two large extra dimensions, corresponding to the ADD and Dark Dimension s…

A class of half-BPS boundary conditions for circular quivers

Davide Bason, Roberto Valandro

We study a string-motivated class of -BPS boundary conditions for 4d circular quiver gauge theories with gauge group , engineered by D4-…

D2-brane probes of non-toric cDV threefolds via monopole superpotentials

Andrés Collinucci, Marina Moleti, Roberto Valandro

We develop a framework to construct worldvolume gauge theories on D2-branes probing compound Du Val (cDV) Calabi-Yau threefold singularities. By viewing these singularities as ADE…

Non-toric 5d SCFTs from Reid's Pagoda

Andrés Collinucci, Fabrizio Del Monte, Mario De Marco +2

We construct new families of non-toric 5d SCFTs via abelian orbifolds of the Reid Pagoda, including a surprising infinite family of rank-1 theories, that evade all known classifica…

Universal flops of length 1 and 2 from D2-branes at surface singularities

Marina Moleti, Roberto Valandro

We study families of deformed ADE surfaces by probing them with a D2-brane in Type IIA string theory. The geometry of the total space of such a family can be encoded in a scala…
