M-theory and T-geometry: Higgs branch moduli and charged matter
Marwan Najjar
M-theory geometric engineering on manifolds of special holonomy yields a rich class of novel field theories. In this paper, we construct new 3d and $\mathcal…
Aspects of 4d gauge theories from M-theory: decomposition, automorphisms, and generalised symmetries
Osama Khlaif, Marwan Najjar
We study the decomposition of 4d gauge theories with Lie algebras of type , , and , realized via M-theory geo…
Confinement of 3d Gauge Theories from M-theory on CY4
Marwan Najjar, Yi-Nan Wang
In this work, we present a new geometric transition in non-compact Calabi-Yau 4-folds, specifically for the cone over the 7d Sasaki-Einstein manifold $Q^{\scriptscriptstyle(1,1,1)}…
Modified instanton sum and 4-group structure in 4d SYM from holography
Marwan Najjar
We study the decomposition of the holographic 4d gauge theory with in the Klebanov-Strassler set-up. In particular, we propose a consistent framework for de…
(-1)-form symmetries from M-theory and SymTFTs
Marwan Najjar, Leonardo Santilli, Yi-Nan Wang
We explore -form symmetries within the framework of geometric engineering in M-theory. By constructing the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) for selected 5d $\mathca…
