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 …

A bstract As a refinement of the Swampland Distance Conjecture, we propose that a
quantum gravitational theory in an infinite distance limit of its moduli space either …

A bstract We test various conjectures about quantum gravity for six-dimensional string
compactifications in the framework of F-theory. Starting with a gauge theory coupled to …

We use F‐theory to classify possibly all six‐dimensional superconformal field theories
(SCFTs). This involves a two step process: We first classify all possible tensor branches …

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 …

We prove a version of the Weak Gravity Conjecture for 6d F-theory or heterotic string
compactifications with 8 supercharges. This sharpens our previous analysis by including …

We demonstrate that twisted equivariant differential K-theory of transverse complex curves
accommodates exotic charges of the form expected of codimension= 2 defect branes, such …

A bstract We study AdS 3 x S 2 solutions in massive IIA that preserve small\(\mathcal
{N}\)=(4, 0) supersymmetry in terms of an SU (2)-structure on the remaining internal space …

A bstract We analyse the Weak Gravity Conjecture for chiral four-dimensional F-theory
compactifications with N= 1 supersymmetry. Extending our previous work on nearly …

Recently introduced generalized global symmetries have been useful in order to understand
non-perturbative aspects of quantum field theories in four and lower dimensions. In this …
