All eight-and nine-dimensional string vacua from junctions

M Cvetič, M Dierigl, L Lin, HY Zhang - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
String and 5-brane junctions are shown to succinctly classify all known 8D N= 1 string
vacua. This requires an extension of the description for ordinary [p, q]-7-branes to …
