Five-Brane Superpotentials, Blow-Up Geometries and SU(3) Structure Manifolds
Thomas W. Grimm, Albrecht Klemm, Denis Klevers
We investigate the dynamics of space-time filling five-branes wrapped on curves in heterotic and orientifold Calabi-Yau compactifications. We first study the leading N=1 scalar pot…

The N=1 effective action of F-theory compactifications
Thomas W. Grimm
The four-dimensional N=1 effective action of F-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau fourfold is studied by lifting a three-dimensional M-theory compactification. The lift is perform…

On Abelian Gauge Symmetries and Proton Decay in Global F-theory GUTs
Thomas W. Grimm, Timo Weigand
The existence of abelian gauge symmetries in four-dimensional F-theory compactifications depends on the global geometry of the internal Calabi-Yau fourfold and has important phenom…
