We study boundary singularities which can appear for infinitesimal generators of one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps in the unit disc. We introduce "regular" fractional singularities and characterize them in terms of the…

Let $S$ be a smooth irreducible curve over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and let $\mathcal{A} \to S$ be an abelian scheme with a curve $C \subset \mathcal{A}$, both defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$. In 2020, Barroero and Capuano proved that…

In this note we review the construction of topologically gauged M2 branes with 6 supersymmetries and discuss some of its properties. This is done using the 3-algebra formulation thereby covering all possible gauge groups. We will elaborate…

We revisit the duality between ALE singularities in M-theory and 7-branes on a circle in F-theory. We see that a frozen M-theory singularity maps to a circle compactification involving a rotation of the plane transverse to the 7-brane,…

F-theory SU(5) unification has been proposed as a scenario where the mass of the top quark is naturally large, as opposed to type II SU(5) models. We analyze this claim from the viewpoint of local SU(5) F-theory models, by explicitly…

Non-flat fibrations often appear in F-theory GUT models, and their interpretation is still somewhat mysterious. In this note we explore this issue in a model of particular phenomenological interest, the global $SU(5)\times U(1)$…

A symmetric characteristic singular integral equation with two fixed singularities at the endpoints in the class of functions bounded at the ends is analyzed. It reduces to a vector Hilbert problem for a half-disc and then to a vector…

We investigate the most general N=1 graded extension of the Poincare algebra, and find the corresponding supersymmetry transformations and the associated superspaces. We find that the supersymmetry for which {Q,Q} = P is not special, and in…

We study F-theory compactifications with up to two Abelian gauge group factors that are based on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau 4-folds describable as generic hypersurfaces. Special emphasis is put on elliptic fibrations based on generic…

We review the novel quasiconformal realizations of exceptional U-duality groups whose "quantization" lead directly to their minimal unitary irreducible representations. The group $E_{8(8)}$ can be realized as a quasiconformal group in the…

A brane picture in Type IIA superstring for the Yang Monopole is reconsidered. It makes use of D2 and D4-branes wrapped on cycles in the K3 surface. When the model was first presented some problems concerning the charges of the monopoles…

In this paper we obtain new solutions of Type IIA and massive Type IIA supergravity. These solutions are the result of implementing a non-abelian T-duality along the internal $SU(2)$ isometries of several D3-brane configurations on the…

We obtain a simple explicit expression for the hyper-Kahler Calabi metric on the co-tangent bundle of CP^{n+1}, for all n, in which it is constructed as a metric of cohomogeneity one with SU(n+2)/U(n) principal orbits. These results enable…

We prove some conditions for the existence of higher dimensional algebraic fibering of group extensions. This leads to various corollaries on incoherence of groups and some geometric examples of algebraic fibers of type $F_n$ but not…

With the ansatz that there exist local or global discrete symmetries in the special branes' neighborhoods, we can construct the extra dimension models with only zero modes, or the models which have large extra dimensions and arbitrarily…

The presentation at Strings 2000 was intended to be in two main parts, but there was only time for part one. However both parts appeared on the online proceedings, and are also included in this document. The first part concerns an…

We study the topologically twisted compactification of the 6d $(2,0)$ M5-brane theory on an elliptically fibered K\"ahler three-fold preserving two supercharges. We show that upon reducing on the elliptic fiber, the 4d theory is…

We propose a bottom-up approach to the building of particle physics models from string theory. Our building blocks are Type II D-branes which we combine appropriately to reproduce desirable features of a particle theory model: 1) Chirality…

In this paper, we investigate semilinear elliptic equations with general exponential-type nonlinearities in two dimensions. For such nonlinearities, we establish two main results. The first is the construction of a singular solution.…

We study "fuzzy funnel" solutions to the non-Abelian equations of motion of the D-string. Our funnel describes n^6/360 coincident D-strings ending on n^3/6 D7-branes, in terms of a fuzzy six-sphere which expands along the string. We also…
