Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We consider, at the linearized level, the superspace formulation of lower-dimensional F-theory. In particular, we describe the embedding of 3D Type II super-gravity of the superstring, or 4D, N = 1 supergravity of M-theory, into the corresponding F ...

F-theory with worldvolume sectioning [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We describe the worldvolume for the bosonic sector of the lower-dimensional F-theory that embeds 5D, N=1 M-theory and the 4D type II superstring. This theory is a complexification of the fundamental 5-brane theory that embeds the 4D, N=1 M-theory of the ...

Nucl.Phys.B469:403-418,1996, 1996 We construct compact examples of D-manifolds for type IIB strings. The construction has a natural interpretation in terms of compactification of a 12 dimensional `F-theory'. We provide evidence for a more natural reformulation of type IIB theory in terms of F-theory.

The frozen phase of F-theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We study the interpretation of O7+-planes in F-theory, mainly in the context of the six-dimensional models. In particular, we study how to assign gauge algebras and matter content to seven-branes and their intersections, and the implication of anomaly ...

Physics Letters B, 2014 We study the dynamics of axion-like fields in F-theory and suggest that they can serve as inflatons in models of natural inflation. The axions arise from harmonic three-forms on the F-theory compactification space and parameterize a complex torus that ...

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We construct supersymmetric AdS3 solutions in F-theory, that is Type IIB supergravity with varying axio-dilaton, which are holographically dual to 2d N = 0 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(0,4\right) $$ superconformal field theories with small superconformal ...

Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe discuss F-theory backgrounds associated to flat torus bundles over Ricci-flat manifolds. In this setting the F-theory background can be understood as a IIB orientifold with a large radius limit described by a supersymmetric compactification of IIB ...

Towards bootstrapping F-theory
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe consider type IIB string theory with N D3 branes and various configurations of sevenbranes, such that the string coupling g s is fixed to a constant finite value.

arXiv, 1998 It is shown that the matter content of F-theory compactifications on elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds is encoded in the Gromov-Witten invariants.

On the frozen F-theory landscape
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe study 6d $$\mathcal{N}$$ = (1, 0) supergravity theories arising in the frozen phase of F-theory. For each of the known global models, we construct an F-theory compactification in the unfrozen phase with an identical non-abelian gauge algebra and ...
