Chiral spectrum of the universal tuned 4D F-theory model
Patrick Jefferson, Washington Taylor, Andrew P. Turner
We use the recently developed methods of 2108.07810 to analyze vertical flux backgrounds and associated chiral matter spectra in the 4D universal $(\text{SU}(3) \times \text{SU}(2)…
USp(4)-models
Mboyo Esole, Patrick Jefferson
We study the geometry of elliptic fibrations satisfying the conditions of Step 2 of Tate's algorithm with a discriminant of valuation 4. We call such geometries USp(4)-models, as t…
Twisted Circle Compactifications of 6d SCFTs
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Patrick Jefferson, Hee-Cheol Kim +2
We study 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) compactified on a circle with arbitrary twists. The theories obtained after compactification, often referred to as 5d Kaluza-Klein…
The Geometry of SO(3), SO(5), and SO(6) models
Mboyo Esole, Patrick Jefferson
SO(3), SO(5), and SO(6)-models are singular elliptic fibrations with Mordell--Weil torsion Z/2Z and singular fibers whose dual fibers correspond to affine Dynkin diagrams of type A…
SCFTs, Holography, and Topological Strings
Hirotaka Hayashi, Patrick Jefferson, Hee-Cheol Kim +2
We show that the non-gravitational sectors of certain 6d and 5d supergravity theories can be decomposed into superconformal field theories (SCFTs) which are coupled together by pai…
Classifying 5d SCFTs via 6d SCFTs: Arbitrary rank
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Patrick Jefferson
According to a conjecture, all 5d SCFTs should be obtainable by rank-preserving RG flows of 6d SCFTs compactified on a circle possibly twisted by a background for the discrete glob…
