Higgs branch of heterotic little string theories: Hasse diagrams and generalized symmetries

C Lawrie, L Mansi - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We study the Higgs branches of the 6D (1, 0) little string theories that live on the world
volume of NS5-branes probing an ADE-singularity in the heterotic E 8× E 8 and Spin (32)/Z …

Density of States, Black Holes and the Emergent String Conjecture

A Bedroya, RK Mishra - arXiv preprint arXiv:2405.00083, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study universal features of the density of one-particle states $\rho (E) $ in weakly
coupled theories of gravity at energies above the quantum gravity cutoff $\Lambda …

Non-minimal elliptic threefolds at infinite distance. Part I. Log Calabi-Yau resolutions

R Álvarez-García, SJ Lee, T Weigand - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We study infinite-distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of elliptic
Calabi-Yau threefolds. In F-theory compactifications to six dimensions, such limits include …

Charting the Complex Structure Landscape of F-theory

D van de Heisteeg - arXiv preprint arXiv:2404.03456, 2024 - arxiv.org
We explore the landscape of F-theory compactifications on Calabi--Yau fourfolds whose
complex structure moduli space is the thrice-punctured sphere. As a first part, we enumerate …
