Fibers add flavor. Part I. Classification of 5d SCFTs, flavor symmetries and BPS states

F Apruzzi, C Lawrie, L Lin, S Schäfer-Nameki… - Journal of High Energy …, 2019 - Springer
We propose a graph-based approach to 5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) based on
their realization as M-theory compactifications on singular elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds …
