Phases of 5d SCFTs from M-/F-theory on Non-Flat Fibrations

Fabio Apruzzi, Ling Lin, Christoph Mayrhofer

We initiate the systematic investigation of non-flat resolutions of non-minimal singularities in elliptically fibered Calabi--Yau threefolds. Compactification of M-theory on these…

A Note on Non-Flat Points in the PQ F-Theory Model

Ismail Achmed-Zade, Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Christoph Mayrhofer

Non-flat fibrations often appear in F-theory GUT models, and their interpretation is still somewhat mysterious. In this note we explore this issue in a model of particular phenomen…

A Geometrical Upper Bound on the Inflaton Range

Michele Cicoli, David Ciupke, Christoph Mayrhofer +1

We argue that in type IIB LVS string models, after including the leading order moduli stabilisation effects, the moduli space for the remaining flat directions is compact due the C…

Non-geometric heterotic backgrounds and 6D SCFTs/LSTs

Anamaría Font, Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Dieter Lust +2

We study six-dimensional theories living on defects of non-geometric backgrounds of the and the heterotic strin…

Non-Geometric Vacua of the Heterotic String and Little String Theories

Anamaría Font, Christoph Mayrhofer

We study a class of 6d non-geometric vacua of the heterotic string which can be understood as fibrations of genus-two curves over…

Algebraic Cycles and Local Anomalies in F-Theory

Martin Bies, Christoph Mayrhofer, Timo Weigand

We introduce a set of identities in the cohomology ring of elliptic fibrations which are equivalent to the cancellation of gauge and mixed gauge-gravitational anomalies in F-theory…
