The authors' main claim In that limit, we demonstrate that the dual of D3-branes probing seven-branes corresponds to the shrinking of certain surfaces and curves, yielding light particles that may carry both electric and magnetic charges.

We study electric-magnetic duality in compactifications of M-theory on twisted connected sum (TCS) $G_2$ manifolds via duality with F-theory. Specifically, we study the physics of the D3-branes in F-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau fourfold $Y$, dual to a compactification of M-theory on a TCS $G_2$ manifold $X$. $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry is restored in an appropriate geometric limit. In that limit, we demonstrate that the dual of D3-branes probing seven-branes corresponds to the shrinking of certain surfaces and curves, yielding light particles that may carry both electric and magnetic charges. We provide evidence that the Minahan-Nemeschansky theories with $E_n$ flavor symmetry may be realized in this way. The $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ monodromy of the 3/7-brane system is dual to a Fourier-Mukai transform of the dual IIA/M-theory geometry in this limit, and we extrapolate this monodromy action to the global compactification. Away from the limit, the theory is broken to $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry by a D-term.

We study electric-magnetic duality in compactifications of M-theory on twisted connected sum (TCS) $G_2$ manifolds via duality with F-theory. Specifically, we study the physics of the D3-branes in F-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau fourfold $Y$, dual to a compactification of M-theory on a TCS $G_2$ manifold $X$. $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry is restored in an appropriate geometric limit. In that limit, we demonstrate that the dual of D3-branes probing seven-branes corresponds to the shrinking of certain surfaces and curves, yielding light particles that may carry both electric and magnetic charges. We provide evidence that the Minahan-Nemeschansky theories with $E_n$ flavor symmetry may be realized in this way. The $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ monodromy of the 3/7-brane system is dual to a Fourier-Mukai transform of the dual IIA/M-theory geometry in this limit, and we extrapolate this monodromy action to the global compactification. Away from the limit, the theory is broken to $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry by a D-term.

To obtain its non-compact limit, we choose suitable divisors of $X$ and send its volume to infinity while keeping the volume of the other divisors finite by tuning the Kähler moduli of $X$ using the same method employed in [ref] .
