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, engineered by D4-branes suspended between NS…
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…
BCFT One-point Functions of Coulomb Branch Operators
Davide Bason, Lorenzo Di Pietro, Roberto Valandro +1
We show that supersymmetry can be used to compute the BCFT one-point function coefficients for chiral primary operators, in 4d SCFTs with -BPS boundary…
M-theory geometric engineering for rank-0 3d theories
Andrea Sangiovanni, Roberto Valandro
M-theory geometric engineering on non-compact Calabi-Yau fourfolds (CY4) produces 3d theories with 4 supercharges. Carefully establishing a dictionary between the geometry of the C…
