K3 metrics from little string theory
Shamit Kachru, Arnav Tripathy, Max Zimet
Certain six-dimensional (1,0) supersymmetric little string theories, when compactified on , have moduli spaces of vacua given by smooth K3 surfaces. Using ideas of Gaiotto-Moo…
A comment on 4d and 5d BPS states
Shamit Kachru, Max Zimet
We discuss a phenomenon in supersymmetric field theory and string theory whereby compactifying one of the dimensions of spacetime on an arbitrarily large circle can cause BPS state…
Recounting Special Lagrangian Cycles in Twistor Families of K3 Surfaces. Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Count BPS States
Shamit Kachru, Arnav Tripathy, Max Zimet
We consider asymptotics of certain BPS state counts in M-theory compactified on a K3 surface. Our investigation is parallel to (and was inspired by) recent work in the mathematics…
Strong-Weak Chern-Simons-Matter Dualities from a Lattice Construction
Jing-Yuan Chen, Max Zimet
We provide a lattice demonstration of -dimensional field theory dualities relating free Dirac or Majorana fermions to strongly-interacting bosonic Chern-Simons-matter theori…
Umbral Moonshine and String Duality
Max Zimet
By studying 2d string compactifications with half-maximal supersymmetry in a variety of duality frames, we find a natural physical setting for understanding Umbral moonshine. Near…
