The Art of Networking: Networks of Trivalent 10d Heterotic Junctions
Chiara Altavista, Edoardo Anastasi, Roberta Angius +2
We initiate the study of networks of 10d string theories connected by junctions implied by the cobordism conjecture. Focusing on the recently constructed junction of the three 10d…

The Art of Branching: Cobordism Junctions of 10d String Theories
Chiara Altavista, Edoardo Anastasi, Roberta Angius +1
We describe the explicit construction of configurations of several 10d string theories joining at a 9d junction, providing a dynamical realization of cobordisms between multiple 10…

Hořava-Witten theory on as type 0 orientifold
Chiara Altavista, Edoardo Anastasi, Salvatore Raucci +2
We investigate dualities between quotients of recently proposed compactifications of M-theory on `quantum geometries' of the form ${\mathbf{S}}^1\vee{\mathbf{S}}^1…
