[HTML][HTML] A stringy test of the scalar weak gravity conjecture

SJ Lee, W Lerche, T Weigand - Nuclear Physics B, 2019 - Elsevier
We prove a version of the Weak Gravity Conjecture for 6d F-theory or heterotic string
compactifications with 8 supercharges. This sharpens our previous analysis by including …

SISSA: F-theory

T Weigand - 2018 - cds.cern.ch
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 …

Generalized symmetries, gravity, and the swampland

M Cvetič, JJ Heckman, M Hübner, E Torres - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Generalized global symmetries are a common feature of many quantum field theories
decoupled from gravity. By contrast, in quantum gravity/the Swampland program, it is widely …

TASI Lectures on Abelian and Discrete Symmetries in F-theory

M Cvetic, L Lin - arXiv preprint arXiv:1809.00012, 2018 - arxiv.org
In F-theory compactifications, the abelian gauge sector is encoded in global structures of the
internal geometry. These structures lie at the intersection of algebraic and arithmetic …

Sections, multisections, and U (1) fields in F-theory

DR Morrison, W Taylor - arXiv preprint arXiv:1404.1527, 2014 - arxiv.org
We show that genus-one fibrations lacking a global section fit naturally into the geometric
moduli space of Weierstrass models. Elliptic fibrations with multiple sections (nontrivial …

Box graphs and singular fibers

fourfolds with section by studying the three-dimensional\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2 supersymmetric …

Mordell-Weil torsion and the global structure of gauge groups in F-theory

C Mayrhofer, DR Morrison, O Till, T Weigand - Journal of High Energy …, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We study the global structure of the gauge group G of F-theory compactified on an
elliptic fibration Y. The global properties of G are encoded in the torsion subgroup of the …
