abstract

We introduce a class of four dimensional field theories constructed by quotienting ordinary $\mathcal{N}=4$ $U(N)$ SYM by particular combinations of R-symmetry and $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ automorphisms. These theories appear naturally on the worldvolume of D3 branes probing terminal singularities in F-theory, where they can be thought of as non-perturbative generalizations of the O3 plane. We focus on cases preserving only 12 supercharges, where the quotient gives rise to theories with coupling fixed at a value of order one. These constructions possess an unconventional large $N$ limit described by a non-trivial F-theory fibration with base $AdS_5\times (S^5/\mathbb{Z}_k)$. Upon reduction on a circle the $\mathcal{N}=3$ theories flow to well-known $\mathcal{N}=6$ ABJM theories.

EFTs with Symmetric Moduli Spaces: the Landscape and the Swampland

hep-th · 2026-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Using weight polytopes of irreducible representations, a finite list of symmetric moduli spaces satisfies the SDC decay rates; most embed from an E8(8) EFT but three cannot be obtained from string or M-theory compactifications.

Quarter-indices for basic ortho-symplectic corners

hep-th · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Exact quarter-indices for basic ortho-symplectic corners in N=4 SYM are obtained in closed form, proven equal under duality, and interpreted as vacuum characters of BCD W-algebras and osp(1|2N) VOAs.
