Massive Abelian Gauge Symmetries and Fluxes in F-theory
Thomas W. Grimm, Max Kerstan, Eran Palti +1
F-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau fourfold naturally describes non-Abelian gauge symmetries through the singularity structure of the elliptic fibration. In contrast Abelian sym…

On Fluxed Instantons and Moduli Stabilisation in IIB Orientifolds and F-theory
Thomas W. Grimm, Max Kerstan, Eran Palti +1
We study the superpotential induced by Euclidean D3-brane instantons carrying instanton flux, with special emphasis on its significance for the stabilisation of Kahler moduli and N…

The effective action of D6-branes in N=1 type IIA orientifolds
Max Kerstan, Timo Weigand
We use a Kaluza-Klein reduction to compute the low-energy effective action for the massless modes of a spacetime-filling D6-brane wrapped on a special Lagrangian 3-cycle of a type…
