We provide a user's guide to version 1.0 of the software package CYTools, which we designed to compute the topological data of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties. CYTools has strong capabilities in analyzing and triangulating polytopes, and can easily handle even the largest polytopes in the Kreuzer-Skarke list. We explain the main functions and the options that can be used to optimize them, including example computations that illustrate efficient handling of large numbers of polytopes. The software, installation instructions, and a Jupyter notebook tutorial can be found at https://cy.tools.

  4. Heterotic String Theory Suggests a QCD Axion Near 0.5 neV

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Heterotic string theory implies the QCD axion mass is bounded below by 0.5 neV and typically falls in [0.5, 0.8] neV across most compactifications.

  5. Calabi-Yau Threefolds from Vex Triangulations

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0

    All fine regular triangulations of 4D reflexive polytopes—including non-FRST vex triangulations—yield smooth, birationally equivalent Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces.

  6. Flux Vacua Near the Boundary of Large Complex Structure

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Near the boundary of large complex structure, the first worldsheet instanton can displace flux vacua significantly while higher instantons stay negligible, and such vacua are common in a bounded two-modulus scan.

  7. Calabi-Yau Orientifold Hypersurfaces and their F-theory Uplifts

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    An algorithm builds Calabi-Yau orientifolds and F-theory fourfold uplifts from 6d reflexive polytopes derived from orientifold data, with code in CYTools and GitHub.

  8. On BPS Branes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The paper defines cones C_BPS-B and C_BPS-BB for BPS branes in supergravity and conjectures that states in C_BPS-BB are realized as BPS states with C_BPS-B as their electric-magnetic dual when moduli-independent.

  9. Sampling Triangulations and Calabi-Yau Threefolds with Autoregressive GNNs

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In a wafer-modified Bousso-Polchinski model, 99.95% of the 532 million Calabi-Yau fourfold configurations in the Schöller-Skarke database allow vacuum energy spacings of 10^{-120} or smaller, with membrane nucleation ...

  11. When minor issues matter: symmetries, pluralism, and polarization in similarity-based opinion dynamics

    physics.soc-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Even an arbitrarily small-weight issue can destabilize stable opinion states and massively slow convergence; concentrating importance on few issues raises polarization, while spreading it promotes pluralism.

  12. Axiverse Lampposts

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    In a hierarchical multi-axion theory with random couplings, axion field ranges shrink with 1/sqrt(N), generic axion–SM couplings are suppressed, but the QCD axion's coupling is unsuppressed.

  13. Exploring Line Bundle Standard Models with Transformers

    hep-th 2026-06 conditional novelty 5.0

    A Transformer trained by reinforcement learning generates heterotic line-bundle sums that satisfy anomaly-cancellation, stability, and chirality constraints, and its policy transfers usefully across Calabi-Yau geometries.
