We review the topic of 4D Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (4DEGB) gravity, which has been the
subject of considerable interest over the past two years. Our review begins with a general …

Lovelock theory is a natural extension of Einstein theory of gravity to higher dimensions, and
it is of great interest in theoretical physics as it describes a wide class of models. In …

We propose a graph-based approach to 5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) based on
their realization as M-theory compactifications on singular elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds …

We discuss five-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. An anomaly renders some
theories inconsistent and others consistent only upon including a Wess-Zumino type Chern …

We study five-dimensional supersymmetric field theories with one-dimensional Coulomb
branch. We extend a previous analysis which led to non-trivial fixed points with En symmetry …

Phase transitions are studied in M-theory and F-theory. In M-theory compactification to five
dimensions on a Calabi-Yau, one can find topology-changing transitions similar to those …

We explore higher-form symmetries of M-and F-theory compactified on elliptic fibrations,
determined by the topology of their asymptotic boundaries. The underlying geometric …

We revisit the correspondence between Calabi-Yau (CY) threefold isolated singularities
$\mathbf {X} $ and five-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs), which arise at …

We discuss several implications of R4 couplings in M-theory when compactified on Calabi-
Yau (CY) manifolds. In particular, these couplings can be predicted by supersymmetry from …

A bstract Starting from 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) realized via F-theory, we
show how reduction on a circle leads to a uniform perspective on the phase structure of the …
