Abstract Six-dimensional (6D) superconformal field theories (SCFTs) occupy a central place
in the study of quantum field theories encountered in high energy theory. This article reviews …

We review some aspects of the dramatic consequences of supersymmetry breaking on
string vacua. In particular, we focus on the issue of vacuum stability in ten-dimensional string …

We study aspects of anti-de Sitter space in the context of the Swampland. In particular, we
conjecture that the near-flat limit of pure AdS belongs to the Swampland, as it is necessarily …

A bstract A single M5-brane probing G, an ADE-type singularity, leads to a system which has
G× G global symmetry and can be viewed as “bifundamental”(G, G) matter. For the AN …

A bstract We study (1, 0) and (2, 0) 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) that can be
constructed in F-theory. Quite surprisingly, all of them involve an orbifold singularity ℂ 2/Γ …

A bstract Symmetries and anomalies of a d-dimensional quantum field theory are often
encoded in a (d+ 1)-dimensional topological action, called symmetry topological field theory …

A bstract We draw attention to a class of generalized global symmetries, which we call
“Chern-Weil global symmetries,” that arise ubiquitously in gauge theories. The Noether …

We revisit the correspondence between Calabi-Yau (CY) threefold isolated singularities
$\mathbf {X} $ and five-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs), which arise at …

A bstract We study AdS 3 x S 2 solutions in massive IIA that preserve small\(\mathcal
{N}\)=(4, 0) supersymmetry in terms of an SU (2)-structure on the remaining internal space …

A bstract We investigate the existence of solutions with 16 residual supersymmetries to Type
IIB supergravity on a space-time of the formc AdS 6× S 2 warped over a two-dimensional …
