Top down approach to 6D SCFTs
JJ Heckman, T Rudelius - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

The string landscape, the swampland, and the missing corner
We give a brief overview of the string landscape and techniques used to construct string
compactifications. We then explain how this motivates the notion of the swampland and …

Models of particle physics from type IIB string theory and F-theory: a review
A Maharana, E Palti - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2013 - World Scientific
We review particle physics model building in type IIB string theory and F-theory. This is a
region in the landscape where in principle many of the key ingredients required for a …

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

Higher-form symmetries in 5d
DR Morrison, S Schäfer-Nameki, B Willett - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We study higher-form symmetries in 5d quantum field theories, whose charged
operators include extended operators such as Wilson line and't Hooft operators. We outline …

Atomic classification of 6D SCFTs
JJ Heckman, DR Morrison, T Rudelius… - Fortschritte der …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We use F‐theory to classify possibly all six‐dimensional superconformal field theories
(SCFTs). This involves a two step process: We first classify all possible tensor branches …

0-form, 1-form, and 2-group symmetries via cutting and gluing of orbifolds
M Cvetič, JJ Heckman, M Hübner, E Torres - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Orbifold singularities of M-theory constitute the building blocks of a broad class of
supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs). In this paper we show how the local data of …

Hierarchies from fluxes in string compactifications
SB Giddings, S Kachru, J Polchinski - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
Warped compactifications with significant warping provide one of the few known
mechanisms for naturally generating large hierarchies of physical scales. We demonstrate …

6d conformal matter
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 …
