Geometric Symmetries and Topological Terms in F-theory and Field Theory
Andreas Kapfer
In this thesis we investigate topological aspects and arithmetic structures in quantum field theory and string theory. Particular focus is put on consistent truncations of supergra…

The Arithmetic of Elliptic Fibrations in Gauge Theories on a Circle
Thomas W. Grimm, Andreas Kapfer, Denis Klevers
The geometry of elliptic fibrations translates to the physics of gauge theories in F-theory. We systematically develop the dictionary between arithmetic structures on elliptic curv…
