6D SCFTs and the Classification of Homomorphisms
Darrin D. Frey, Tom Rudelius
We elucidate the correspondence between a particular class of superconformal field theories in six dimensions and homomorphisms from discrete subgroups of into , as pr…
Learning to Inflate
Tom Rudelius
Motivated by machine learning, we introduce a novel method for randomly generating inflationary potentials. Namely, we treat the Taylor coefficients of the potential as weights in…
Fission, Fusion, and 6D RG Flows
Jonathan J. Heckman, Tom Rudelius, Alessandro Tomasiello
We show that all known 6D SCFTs can be obtained iteratively from an underlying set of UV progenitor theories through the processes of "fission" and "fusion." Fission consists of a…
Top Down Approach to 6D SCFTs
Jonathan J. Heckman, Tom Rudelius
Six-dimensional superconformal field theories (6D SCFTs) occupy a central place in the study of quantum field theories encountered in high energy theory. This article reviews the t…
Emergence and the Swampland Conjectures
Ben Heidenreich, Matthew Reece, Tom Rudelius
The Ooguri-Vafa Swampland Conjectures claim that in any consistent theory of quantum gravity, when venturing to large distances in scalar field space, a tower of particles will bec…
