F-theory and the Classification of Little Strings
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Michele Del Zotto, Jonathan J. Heckman +3
Little string theories (LSTs) are UV complete non-local 6D theories decoupled from gravity in which there is an intrinsic string scale. In this paper we present a systematic approa…
Higher S-dualities and Shephard-Todd groups
Sergio Cecotti, Michele Del Zotto
Seiberg and Witten have shown that in N=2 SQCD with the S-duality group PSL(2,Z) acts on the flavor charges, which are weights of Spin(8), by triality. There are other…
Geometric Engineering, Mirror Symmetry and 6d (1,0) -> 4d, N=2
Michele Del Zotto, Cumrun Vafa, Dan Xie
We study compactification of 6 dimensional (1,0) theories on T^2. We use geometric engineering of these theories via F-theory and employ mirror symmetry technology to solve for the…
On the Defect Group of a 6D SCFT
Michele Del Zotto, Jonathan J. Heckman, Daniel S. Park +1
We use the F-theory realization of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) to study the corresponding spectrum of stringlike, i.e. surface defects. On the tensor branch, all of th…
