Abstract Six-dimensional (6D) superconformal field theories (SCFTs) occupy a central place
in the study of quantum field theories encountered in high energy theory. This article reviews …

We study aspects of anti-de Sitter space in the context of the Swampland. In particular, we
conjecture that the near-flat limit of pure AdS belongs to the Swampland, as it is necessarily …

We review some aspects of the dramatic consequences of supersymmetry breaking on
string vacua. In particular, we focus on the issue of vacuum stability in ten-dimensional string …

A bstract We study (1, 0) and (2, 0) 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) that can be
constructed in F-theory. Quite surprisingly, all of them involve an orbifold singularity ℂ 2/Γ …

A bstract A single M5-brane probing G, an ADE-type singularity, leads to a system which has
G× G global symmetry and can be viewed as “bifundamental”(G, G) matter. For the AN …

A bstract Symmetries and anomalies of a d-dimensional quantum field theory are often
encoded in a (d+ 1)-dimensional topological action, called symmetry topological field theory …

A bstract We study marginal deformations of\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2, d= 4 long linear quiver CFTs
using the holographic description. We find a two-parameter family of AdS 5 solutions that …

A bstract We draw attention to a class of generalized global symmetries, which we call
“Chern-Weil global symmetries,” that arise ubiquitously in gauge theories. The Noether …

We construct AdS4 flux vacua of type IIA string theory in the supergravity (large volume,
small) regime, including the backreaction of O6‐planes. Our solutions are the localized …

A bstract In this work we study ten-dimensional solutions to type IIA string theory of the form
AdS 4× X 6 which contain orientifold planes and preserve\(\mathcal {N}\)= 1 supersymmetry …
