D3 branes in the vicinity of an E6, E7, or E8 stack of 7-branes in flat space are known to host at low energy a famous class of strongly-coupled N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal field theories featuring exceptional global symmetry. What if, instead,

Non-supersymmetric F-theory compactifications on Spin(7) manifolds [PDF]
We propose a novel approach to obtain non-supersymmetric four-dimensional effective actions by considering F-theory on manifolds with special holonomy Spin(7). To perform such studies we suggest that a duality relating M-theory on a certain class of Spin(

Enhanced rates for diphoton resonances in the MSSM
We propose a simple mechanism for copiously producing heavy Higgs bosons with enhanced decay rates to two photons at the LHC, within the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM).

On TCS G 2 manifolds and 4D emergent strings
In this note, we study the Swampland Distance Conjecture in TCS G 2 manifold compactifications of M-theory. In particular, we are interested in testing a refined version — the Emergent String Conjecture, in settings with 4d N = 1 supersymmetry.

Gauge coupling unification in E 6 F-theory GUTs with matter and bulk exotics from flux breaking
We consider gauge coupling unification in E 6 F-Theory Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) where E 6 is broken to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group using fluxes. In such models there are two types of exotics that can affect gauge coupling unification, namely

Shift-symmetries and gauge coupling functions in orientifolds and F-theory
We investigate the field dependence of the gauge coupling functions of four-dimensional Type IIB orientifold and F-theory compactifications with space-time filling seven-branes.

ABSTRACT Background PIK3CA‐related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) includes several rare overgrowth disorders resulting from somatic gain‐of‐function mutations in PIK3CA. Despite treatment advances, including the recent approval of alpelisib for PROS in the United States, literature detailing the patient experience with PROS is limited.
