F‐theory and Dark Energy [PDF]
Fortschritte der Physik, 2018 Motivated by its potential use as a starting point for solving various cosmological constant problems, we study F‐theory compactified on the warped product Rtime×S3×Y8 where Y8 is a Spin(7) manifold, and the S3 factor is the target space of an SU(2) Wess–

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 ...

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 ...

F-theory and AdS3/CFT2 (2, 0) [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 A bstractWe continue to develop the program initiated in [1] of studying supersymmetric AdS3 backgrounds of F-theory and their holographic dual 2d superconformal field theories, which are dimensional reductions of theories with varying coupling. Imposing

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.

F-theory vacua and α′-corrections [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 In this work we analyze F-theory and Type IIB orientifold compactifications to study α′-corrections to the four-dimensional, N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 effective actions.

Nuclear Physics B, 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.

Phases of 5d SCFTs from M-/F-theory on non-flat fibrations [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 A bstractWe initiate the systematic investigation of non-flat resolutions of non-minimal singularities in elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds. Compactification of M-theory on these geometries provides an alternative approach to studying phases of ...
