abstract

We show that the ${\cal N}=1$ supergravity theories in ten dimensions with gauge groups $U(1)^{496}$ and $E_8 \times U(1)^{248}$ are not consistent quantum theories. Cancellation of anomalies cannot be made compatible with supersymmetry and abelian gauge invariance. Thus, in ten dimensions all supersymmetric theories of gravity without known inconsistencies are realized in string theory.

Where is tree-level heterotic string theory?

hep-th · 2026-06-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Bootstrap constraints on 10D half-maximal supergravity and SYM show gravitational boundaries dominated by single linear Regge trajectory amplitudes, with representation positivity tensions obstructing direct gauge-gravity normalization in the gluon sector.

Non-supersymmetric dualities beyond the gauge algebra

hep-th · 2026-06-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Verification of Blum-Dienes and Bergman-Gaberdiel dualities shows agreement in gauge group global forms from orientifold brane states and internal lattices, with one subtle projection exception.

    Under a duality symmetry assumption, minimal supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets in D=8 is uniquely fixed in the BPS sector by anomaly cancellation, uplifts, and gauge enhancement.

    Refines charge quantization via homotopy type A whose homotopy groups classify brane charges and homology groups classify higher-form symmetries, deriving swampland-like constraints that rule out noncompact gauge groups and non-nilpotent Lie algebras for field strengths.

  • Rational points in the 6d supergravity landscape and simple current extensions hep-th · 2026-03-18 · unverdicted · none · ref 39 · internal anchor

    Rationality of the 2d SCFT on BPS strings provides a consistency criterion that uniquely determines the elliptic genus and global gauge group in a class of 6d supergravity models without tensor multiplets.
