Topology change and heterotic flux vacua
We investigate the interrelation between topology and Narain T-duality of heterotic flux vacua. We present evidence that all 5 and 4-dimensional Minkowski space heterotic flux backgrounds with 8 supercharges have a locus in the moduli space with a T-dual

Revisiting the multi-monopole point of SU(N) N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 gauge theory in four dimensions
Motivated by applications to soft supersymmetry breaking, we revisit the expansion of the Seiberg-Witten solution around the multi-monopole point on the Coulomb branch of pure SU(N) N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 gauge theory in four dimensions. At this point N

de Sitter Excited State in Heterotic E8×E8${\rm E}_8 \times {\rm E}_8$ Theory
Abstract A novel duality sequence is devised to study late‐time cosmology in the heterotic E8×E8${\rm E}_8 \times {\rm E}_8$ setup of Horava and Witten with dynamical walls that are moving towards each other. Remarkably, the dimensionally reduced 4‐dimensional theory does not violate NEC and no bouncing or ekpyrotic phase is observed.

Reflection groups and 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ > 6 SCFTs
We point out that the moduli spaces of all known 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 8 and N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 6 SCFTs, after suitable gaugings of finite symmetry groups, have the form ℂ 4r /Γ where Γ is a real or complex reflection group depending on whether the

Candidate counterterms break E7 type U-duality symmetry of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ ≥ 5 supergravity theories in four dimensions [1, 2]. A proposal was made in [3] to restore it, starting with a double set of vector fields and argued that a supersymmetric ...

Transcendentality violation in type IIB string amplitudes
We analyze transcendentality for certain terms that arise in multiloop amplitudes in the low momentum expansion of the four graviton amplitude in type IIB string theory in ten dimensions, based on the constraints of supersymmetry and S-duality.

Conformal manifolds and 3d mirrors of (D n , D m ) theories
The Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories of type (D n , D m ), realized by type IIB geometrical engineering on a single hypersurface singularity, are studied. We analyze their conformal manifolds and propose the 3d mirror theories of all theories in this class ...

Holomorphic field theories and higher algebra
Abstract Aimed at complex geometers and representation theorists, this survey explores higher dimensional analogs of the rich interplay between Riemann surfaces, Virasoro and Kac‐Moody Lie algebras, and conformal blocks. We introduce a panoply of examples from physics — field theories that are holomorphic in nature, such as holomorphic Chern‐Simons ...

Multi-centered N = 2 $$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ BPS black holes: a double copy description
We present the on-shell double copy dictionary for linearised N = 2 $$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets in four dimensions.
