Anomaly Cancellation And Abelian Gauge Symmetries In F-theory
Mirjam Cvetič, Thomas W. Grimm, Denis Klevers
We study 4D F-theory compactifications on singular Calabi-Yau fourfolds with fluxes. The resulting N=1 effective theories can admit non-Abelian and U(1) gauge groups as well as cha…
Non-Abelian Tensor Towers and (2,0) Superconformal Theories
Federico Bonetti, Thomas W. Grimm, Stefan Hohenegger
With the aim to study six-dimensional (2,0) superconformal theories with non-Abelian tensor multiplets we propose a five-dimensional superconformal action with eight supersymmetrie…
A Kaluza-Klein inspired action for chiral p-forms and their anomalies
Federico Bonetti, Thomas W. Grimm, Stefan Hohenegger
The dynamics of chiral p-forms can be captured by a lower-dimensional parity-violating action motivated by a Kaluza-Klein reduction on a circle. The massless modes are (p-1)-forms…
Structure in 6D and 4D N=1 supergravity theories from F-theory
Thomas W. Grimm, Washington Taylor
We explore some aspects of 4D supergravity theories and F-theory vacua that are parallel to structures in the space of 6D theories. The spectrum and topological terms in 4D supergr…
Fluxes and Warping for Gauge Couplings in F-theory
Thomas W. Grimm, Denis Klevers, Maximilian Poretschkin
We compute flux-dependent corrections in the four-dimensional F-theory effective action using the M-theory dual description. In M-theory the 7-brane fluxes are encoded by four-form…
