On Mirror Symmetry for Calabi-Yau Fourfolds with Three-Form Cohomology
Sebastian Greiner, Thomas W. Grimm
We study the action of mirror symmetry on two-dimensional N=(2,2) effective theories obtained by compactifying Type IIA string theory on Calabi-Yau fourfolds. Our focus is on fourf…
The Arithmetic of Elliptic Fibrations in Gauge Theories on a Circle
Thomas W. Grimm, Andreas Kapfer, Denis Klevers
The geometry of elliptic fibrations translates to the physics of gauge theories in F-theory. We systematically develop the dictionary between arithmetic structures on elliptic curv…
On dualities for non-Abelian gauge theories with continuous center
Thomas W. Grimm, Diego Regalado
Formulating gauge theories for gauge groups admitting a continuous center can require to include charged scalars to define a gauge-coupling function. We show that the gauge-fields…
The effective action of warped M-theory reductions with higher-derivative terms - Part II
Thomas W. Grimm, Tom G. Pugh, Matthias Weissenbacher
We study the three-dimensional effective action obtained by reducing eleven-dimensional supergravity with higher-derivative terms on a background solution including a warp-factor,…
Non-Abelian discrete gauge symmetries in F-theory
Thomas W. Grimm, Tom G. Pugh, Diego Regalado
The presence of non-Abelian discrete gauge symmetries in four-dimensional F-theory compactifications is investigated. Such symmetries are shown to arise from seven-brane configurat…
Anomaly Cancelation in Field Theory and F-theory on a Circle
Thomas W. Grimm, Andreas Kapfer
We study the manifestation of local gauge anomalies of four- and six-dimensional field theories in the lower-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory obtained after circle compactification.…
