abstract

The strong coupling dynamics of string theories in dimension $d\geq 4$ are studied. It is argued, among other things, that eleven-dimensional supergravity arises as a low energy limit of the ten-dimensional Type IIA superstring, and that a recently conjectured duality between the heterotic string and Type IIA superstrings controls the strong coupling dynamics of the heterotic string in five, six, and seven dimensions and implies $S$ duality for both heterotic and Type II strings.

5d Higgs Branches: Stratifications from Geometry

hep-th · 2026-07-07 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Dynamical complex structure deformations of non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds with non-isolated singularities reproduce the full Higgs branch stratification of 5d SCFTs, matching magnetic quiver predictions.

Holographic Tests of the $\mu$ Ensemble

hep-th · 2026-07-07 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Fixed-μ ensemble computations in 11d supergravity reproduce ABJM partition functions (squashed S³, SCI, TTI) as Airy functions via a Laplace transform whose measure is fixed by bulk zero-mode counting.

5d Trinions and Tetraons

hep-th · 2026-05-15 · accept · novelty 7.0

The authors construct 5d SCFT trinions and tetraons with D flavor symmetry via M-theory, producing non-linear quivers with instanton symmetry enhancement and ruling out E-type cases.

Complete Topological Quantization of Higher Gauge Fields

hep-th · 2025-12-13 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Flux quantization in extraordinary nonabelian cohomology plus topological light-front quantization completely determines the topological quantum observables of higher gauge fields, recovering Chern-Simons details and aspects of M-theory.

Polydoxon Transformations and Scientific Reward in Physics

physics.hist-ph · 2026-05-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The paper develops a descriptive framework in which scientific reward in physics is understood as transformations of the Polydoxon, the structured set of viable theories, with reward scaling by the transformation's scope, centrality, depth, and future leverage.

On the Sugawara Current Algebra Proposal for M-Theory

hep-th · 2026-03-12 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A Sugawara current algebra is constructed for rigid E11 with inert generalized coordinates, yet any natural ad-invariant bilinear form extending the E11 Cartan-Killing form is degenerate.

From Quivers to Geometry: 5d Conformal Matter

hep-th · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

All 5d balanced (ADE-shaped) SU quivers with no Chern-Simons level have UV completions as 5d conformal matter SCFTs realized by explicit local Calabi-Yau threefolds in M-theory.

Non-Invertible Symmetries in Compactified Supergravities

hep-th · 2026-05-15 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Non-invertible symmetry defects from 11D supergravity descend to Type IIA, splitting the Bianchi sector into invertible H[3] and twisted non-invertible F[4] parts with a BF-type auxiliary sector.

Branes

hep-th · 2026-04-20 · unverdicted · novelty 0.0

A review of branes in string theory covering their multiple descriptions and interaction phenomena.
