Physics of F-theory compactifications without section
• Mathematics
• 2014
A bstractWe study the physics of F-theory compactifications on genus-one fibrations without section by using an M-theory dual description. The five-dimensional action obtained by considering M-theory
Type II string theory and modularity
• Mathematics
• 2005
This paper, in a sense, completes a series of three papers. In the previous two [1],[2], we have explored the possibility of refining the K-theory partition function in type II string theories using
A Spin(7) Conifold Transition in Type IIB as an F-theory Flop
• Mathematics
• 2004
We consider type IIB string theory compactified on an 8-dimensional Spin(7) manifold with N D5-branes, undergoing a conifold transition to a geometry with no branes and N units of dual 3-form RR flux
Mathematics Underlying the F-Theory/Heterotic String Duality in Eight Dimensions
• Mathematics
• 2005
We give an analytic description of the moduli space of classical vacua for F-theory compactified on elliptic K3 surfaces, on open tubular regions near the two Type II boundary divisors. The structure
Evidence for F(uzz) theory
• Mathematics
• 2010
We show that in the decoupling limit of an F-theory compactification, the internal directions of the seven-branes must wrap a non-commutative four-cycle $\mathcal{S}$. We introduce a general method
Lectures on F-theory compactifications and model building
These lecture notes are devoted to formal and phenomenological aspects of F-theory. We begin with a pedagogical introduction to the general concepts of F-theory, covering classic topics such as the
Aspects of Fibers, Fibrations and their Non-Compact Limits in F-theory and Topological String Theory
This thesis presents results about F-theory and topological string theory on genus one fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds and their non-compact limits. In the first part we work in the fiber based approach

New Connections Between String Theories
• Mathematics, Physics

We consider the R→0 limit of toroidal compactification in various string theories. This leads to new connections between seemingly different string theories: IIA and IIB, open and closed, oriented
