A Supernova Constraint on F-theory

Sebastian Vander Ploeg Fallon, James Halverson, Liam McAllister +1

We study constraints on the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion in F-theory, a strongly coupled limit of string theory. We build models of QCD from compactifications to four dimensi…

Glimmers from the Axiverse

Naomi Gendler, David J. E. Marsh, Liam McAllister +1

We study axion-photon couplings in compactifications of type IIB string theory. We find that these couplings are systematically suppressed compared to the inverse axion periodicity…

Computational Mirror Symmetry

Mehmet Demirtas, Manki Kim, Liam McAllister +2

We present an efficient algorithm for computing the prepotential in compactifications of type II string theory on mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau threefolds in toric varieties. Applying…

Moduli Space Reconstruction and Weak Gravity

Naomi Gendler, Ben Heidenreich, Liam McAllister +2

We present a method to construct the extended Kähler cone of any Calabi-Yau threefold by using Gopakumar-Vafa invariants to identify all geometric phases that are related by flops…

TF1 Snowmass Report: Quantum gravity, string theory, and black holes

Daniel Harlow, Shamit Kachru, Juan Maldacena +35

We give an overview of the field of quantum gravity, string theory and black holes summarizing various white papers in this subject that were submitted as part of the Snowmass proc…

CYTools: A Software Package for Analyzing Calabi-Yau Manifolds

Mehmet Demirtas, Andres Rios-Tascon, Liam McAllister

We provide a user's guide to version 1.0 of the software package CYTools, which we designed to compute the topological data of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties. CYTools…
