Fermion-Monopole Scattering in the Standard Model
Marieke van Beest, Philip Boyle Smith, Diego Delmastro +2
We study the scattering of fermions off 't Hooft lines in the Standard Model. A long-standing paradox suggests that the outgoing fermions necessarily carry fractional quantum numbe…
Symmetry TFTs for 3d QFTs from M-theory
Marieke van Beest, Dewi S. W. Gould, Sakura Schafer-Nameki +1
We derive the Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs) for 3d supersymmetric quantum field theories (QFTs) constructed in M-theory either via geometric engineering or holograp…
Connecting 5d Higgs Branches via Fayet-Iliopoulos Deformations
Marieke van Beest, Simone Giacomelli
We describe how the geometry of the Higgs branch of 5d superconformal field theories is transformed under movement along the extended Coulomb branch. Working directly with the (uni…
Lectures on the Swampland Program in String Compactifications
Marieke van Beest, José Calderón-Infante, Delaram Mirfendereski +1
The Swampland program aims to determine the constraints that an effective field theory must satisfy to be consistent with a UV embedding in a quantum gravity theory. Different prop…
