Atomic classification of 6D SCFTs

JJ Heckman, DR Morrison, T Rudelius… - Fortschritte der …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We use F‐theory to classify possibly all six‐dimensional superconformal field theories
(SCFTs). This involves a two step process: We first classify all possible tensor branches …

SISSA: F-theory

T Weigand - 2018 - cds.cern.ch
F-theory is perhaps the most general currently available approach to study non-perturbative
string compactifications in their geometric, large radius regime. It opens up a wide and ever …

four dimensional field theories

I García-Etxebarria, D Regalado - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We introduce a class of four dimensional field theories constructed by quotienting
ordinary\(\mathcal {N}= 4\) U (N) SYM by particular combinations of R-symmetry and SL (2 …

6D RG flows and nilpotent hierarchies

JJ Heckman, T Rudelius, A Tomasiello - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract With the eventual aim of classifying renormalization group flows between 6D
superconformal field theories (SCFTs), we study flows generated by the vevs of “conformal …

Fission, fusion, and 6D RG flows

JJ Heckman, T Rudelius, A Tomasiello - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract 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 …

Non-Higgsable clusters for 4D F-theory models

DR Morrison, W Taylor - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We analyze non-Higgsable clusters of gauge groups and matter that can arise at
the level of geometry in 4D F-theory models. Non-Higgsable clusters seem to be generic …

F-theory and 2d (0, 2) theories

S Schäfer-Nameki, T Weigand - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract F-theory compactified on singular, elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau five-folds gives
rise to two-dimensional gauge theories preserving N=(0, 2) supersymmetry. In this paper we …

5d Higgs branches from M-theory on quasi-homogeneous cDV threefold singularities

M De Marco, A Sangiovanni, R Valandro - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We classify rank zero 5d SCFTs geometrically engineered from M-theory on quasi-
homogeneous compound Du Val isolated threefold singularities. For all such theories, we …
