We study aspects of an equivalent relation of the charge completeness in six-dimensional (6D) $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supergravity theory and a standard assumption on the global structure of the gauge group involving F-theory geometry, recently…

We consider the dimensional reduction on a torus of the family of 6d $(1,0)$ SCFTs UV completing an $so(N)$ gauge theory with $N-8$ vector hypermultiplets. These SCFTs are known to possess a rich structure of discrete symmetries, notably…

We construct the world-volume action of a probe D3-brane in $AdS_5 \times S^5$ with $N$ units of flux. It has the field content, symmetries, and dualities of the $U(1)$ factor of ${\cal N} =4$ $U(N+1)$ super Yang--Mills theory,…

Nearly all 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) have a partial tensor branch description in terms of a generalized quiver gauge theory consisting of a long one-dimensional spine of quiver nodes with links given by conformal matter; a…

We present the details of the recently constructed $E_{6(6)}$ covariant extension of 11-dimensional supergravity. This theory requires a 5+27 dimensional spacetime in which the `internal' coordinates transform in the $\bar{\bf 27}$ of…

We construct 4d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) whose Coulomb branches have singular complex structures. This implies, in particular, that their Coulomb branch coordinate rings are not freely generated. Our construction also gives…

We study compactification of 6 dimensional (1,0) theories on T^2. We use geometric engineering of these theories via F-theory and employ mirror symmetry technology to solve for the effective 4d N=2 geometry for a large number of the (1,0)…

In this paper, we consider the gauge-invariant ideal structure of a $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},\mathcal{B})$ associated to a set-finite, receiver set-finite and weakly left-resolving labelled space $(E,\mathcal{L},\mathcal{B})$, where…

We investigate global symmetries for 6D SCFTs and LSTs having a single "unpaired" tensor, that is, a tensor with no associated gauge symmetry. We verify that for every such theory built from F-theory whose tensor has Dirac self-pairing…

We give a general description of gauge symmetry breaking using vertical and remainder fluxes in 4D F-theory models. The fluxes can break a geometric gauge group to a smaller group and induce chiral matter, even when the larger group admits…

$T\bar{T}$ deformed conformal field theories can be reformulated as worldsheet theories of non-critical strings. We use this correspondence to compute and study the $T\bar{T}$ deformed partition sum of a symmetric product CFT. We find that…

We define and study a new class of 4d N=1 superconformal quiver gauge theories associated with a planar bipartite network. While UV description is not unique due to Seiberg duality, we can classify the IR fixed points of the theory by a…

We propose Seiberg-Witten geometry for N=2 gauge theory with gauge group $E_6$ with massive $N_f$ fundamental hypermultiplets. The relevant manifold is described as a fibration of the ALE space of $E_6$ type. It is observed that the…

A consistent description of gauge theories on coordinate dependent non-commutative (NC) space-time is a long-standing problem with a number of solutions, none of which is free from criticism. In this work, we discuss the approach proposed…

We study the twisted elliptic genera of 2d $(0,4)$ SCFTs associated with the BPS strings in the twisted circle compactification of 6d rank-one $(1,0)$ SCFTs. Such objects can arise when the 6d gauge algebra allows outer automorphism, thus…

We study supersymmetry breaking deformations of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ 5d fixed point known as $E_1$, the UV completion of $SU(2)$ super-Yang-Mills. The phases of the non-supersymmetric theory can be characterized by Chern-Simons terms…

We present exact non-perturbative solutions to chiral gauge theories based on the $E_6$ gauge group and several matter fermions in the fundamental $\bf{27}$-dimensional representation. They are obtained when supersymmetric versions are…

We present a global analysis of the Higgs and electroweak sector, in the SMEFT framework and matched to a UV-completion. As the UV-model we use the triplet extension of the electroweak gauge sector. The matching is performed at one loop,…
