Evidence for F-Theory
read the original abstract
We construct compact examples of D-manifolds for type IIB strings. The construction has a natural interpretation in terms of compactification of a 12 dimensional `F-theory'. We provide evidence for a more natural reformulation of type IIB theory in terms of F-theory. Compactification of M-theory on a manifold $K$ which admits elliptic fibration is equivalent to compactification of F-theory on $K\times S^1$. A large class of $N=1$ theories in 6 dimensions are obtained by compactification of F-theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds. A class of phenomenologically promising compactifications of F-theory is on $Spin(7)$ holonomy manifolds down to 4 dimensions. This may provide a concrete realization of Witten's proposal for solving the cosmological constant problem in four dimensions.

Anomalies in family unification models from bordism classification
Family unification models from E7 cosets have no global sigma model anomalies because the torsion parts of their bordism groups vanish, as computed via the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, including when isotropy ...

Constraining F-theory Model Building with QCD Axions
F-theory models with the Standard Model spectrum are constrained by QCD axion physics, yielding typical detectable axion masses around 10^{-9} eV and decay constants around 10^{15} GeV in allowed regions.
