IIB string theory explored: Reflection 7-branes

M Dierigl, JJ Heckman, M Montero, E Torres - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The swampland cobordism conjecture successfully predicts the supersymmetric spectrum of
7-branes of IIB/F-theory. Including reflections on the F-theory torus, it also predicts the …
