The Swampland program aims to distinguish effective theories which can be completed into
quantum gravity in the ultraviolet from those which cannot. This article forms an introduction …

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 …

A bstract In [1, 2] we proposed an approach based on graphs to characterize 5d
superconformal field theories (SCFTs), which arise as compactifications of 6d\(\mathcal …

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 …

We derive bounds on the number of Abelian gauge group factors in six-dimensional
gravitational theories with minimal supersymmetry and in their F-theoretic realizations …

We initiate a systematic investigation of F-theory on elliptic fibrations with singularities which
cannot be resolved without breaking the Calabi–Yau condition, corresponding to Q-factorial …

A bstract We show that F-theory compactifications with abelian gauge factors generally
exhibit a non-trivial global gauge group structure. The geometric origin of this structure lies …

We review recent progress in the construction of four-dimensional vacua of Type II string
theory and F-theory which yield the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) or extensions …

A bstract We prove that, for every 6D supergravity theory that has an F-theory description,
the property of charge completeness for the connected component of the gauge group …

We classify the allowed structures of the discrete 1-form gauge sector in six-dimensional
supergravity theories realized as F-theory compactifications. This provides upper bounds on …
