We study compactification of 6 dimensional (1,0) theories on T^2. We use geometric engineering of these theories via F-theory and employ mirror symmetry technology to solve for the effective 4d N=2 geometry for a large number of the (1,0) theories including those associated with conformal matter. Using this we show that for a given 6d theory we can obtain many inequivalent 4d N=2 SCFTs. Some of these respect the global symmetries of the 6d theory while others exhibit SL(2,Z) duality symmetry inherited from global diffeomorphisms of the T^2. This construction also explains the 6d origin of moduli space of 4d affine ADE quiver theories as flat ADE connections on T^2. Among the resulting 4d N=2 CFTs we find theories whose vacuum geometry is captured by an LG theory (as opposed to a curve or a local CY geometry). We obtain arbitrary genus curves of class S with punctures from toroidal compactification of (1,0) SCFTs where the curve of the class S theory emerges through mirror symmetry. We also show that toroidal compactification of the little string version of these theories can lead to class S theories with no punctures on arbitrary genus Riemann surface.

    hep-th 2026-05 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

    For 8d maximal supergravity, the spin bordism groups Omega_k^Spin(B(SL(2,Z) x SL(3,Z))) for k=1..7 are computed and each generator is realized by a string/M/F-theory background, some of which are non-geometric.

    The paper traces the global-structure ambiguity of 6d (2,0) theories to non-commuting RR flux boundary conditions in IIB on C^2/Γ, reproducing the known classification of 4d N=4 theories and adding new results on dual...

    A proposed 4d quiver theory E[USp(2Q)] is claimed to encode torus compactifications of rank-Q E-string theory, with emergent USp(2Q)xUSp(2Q)xU(1)^2 symmetry supported by index and anomaly checks.
