Abelian F-theory models with charge-3 and charge-4 matter

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
This paper analyzes U(1) F-theory models admitting matter with charges q = 3 and 4. First, we systematically derive a q = 3 construction that generalizes the previous q = 3 examples.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

F-Theory - From Geometry to Physics and Back

open access: yes, 2017
Compactifications of string theory have the potential to form a bridge between what we believe is a consistent quantum theory of gravity in 10 spacetime dimensions and observed physics in four dimensions.

High U(1) charges in type IIB models and their F-theory lift [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We construct models with U(1) gauge group and matter with charges up to 6, in the context of type IIB compactifications. We show explicitly that models with charges up to 4 can be derived from corresponding models in F-theory by applying the Sen weak ...

Mordell—Weil lattice and the global gauge group of F-theory

open access: yes, 2018
The global gauge group structure of F-theory compactifications is tied to the embedding of the Mordell—Weil lattice into the Neron—Severi group, also known as the Shioda map. While this has been previously explored in the case of purely non-abelian gauge

Deforestation displaced: trade in forest-risk commodities and the prospects for a global forest transition

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2019
While many developed countries are increasing their forest cover, deforestation is still rife in the tropics and subtropics. With international trade in forest-risk commodities on the rise, it is becoming increasingly important to consider between ...

Saddle point inflation from f(R) theory

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
We analyse several saddle point inflationary scenarios based on power-law f(R) models. We investigate inflation resulting from f(R)=R+αnM2(1−n)Rn+αn+1M−2nRn+1 and f(R)=∑nlαnM2(1−n)Rn as well as l→∞ limit of the latter. In all cases we have found relation

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

On F-theory effective actions: From anomalies to Swampland

open access: yes, 2019
In this thesis we investigate general properties of four- and six-dimensional effective actions with minimal supersymmetry obtained from F-theory by compactification on Calabi-Yau manifolds.

On the frozen F-theory landscape

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We 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 ...
