Mapping 6D N = 1 supergravities to F-theory
Vijay Kumar, David R. Morrison, Washington Taylor
We develop a systematic framework for realizing general anomaly-free chiral 6D supergravity theories in F-theory. We focus on 6D (1, 0) models with one tensor multiplet whose gauge…
A bound on 6D N=1 supergravities
Vijay Kumar, Washington Taylor
We prove that there are only finitely many distinct semi-simple gauge groups and matter representations possible in consistent 6D chiral (1,0) supergravity theories with one tensor…
String Universality in Six Dimensions
Vijay Kumar, Washington Taylor
In six dimensions, cancellation of gauge, gravitational, and mixed anomalies strongly constrains the set of quantum field theories which can be coupled consistently to gravity. We…
Freedom and Constraints in the K3 Landscape
Vijay Kumar, Washington Taylor
We consider "magnetized brane" compactifications of the type I/heterotic string on K3 with U(1) background fluxes. The nonabelian gauge group and matter content of the resulting si…
