The F-theory geometry with most flux vacua
Washington Taylor, Yi-Nan Wang
Applying the Ashok-Denef-Douglas estimation method to elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfolds suggests that a single elliptic fourfold gives rise to ${\cal O} (10^{272,0…
A Monte Carlo exploration of threefold base geometries for 4d F-theory vacua
Washington Taylor, Yi-Nan Wang
We use Monte Carlo methods to explore the set of toric threefold bases that support elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfolds for F-theory compactifications to four dimensions, and study the d…
Non-toric bases for elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds and 6D F-theory vacua
Washington Taylor, Yi-Nan Wang
We develop a combinatorial approach to the construction of general smooth compact base surfaces that support elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds. This extends previous analyses that hav…
Generalized Cartan Calculus in general dimension
Yi-Nan Wang
We develop the generalized Cartan Calculus for the groups SL, SL and SO(5,5). They are the underlying algebraic structures of…
Tensor Hierarchy and Generalized Cartan Calculus in SL(3)SL(2) Exceptional Field Theory
Olaf Hohm, Yi-Nan Wang
We construct exceptional field theory for the duality group SL(3)SL(2). The theory is defined on a space with 8 `external' coordinates and 6 `internal' coordinates in the $…
