Toroidal Compactification Without Vector Structure
read the original abstract
Many important ideas about string duality that appear in conventional $\T^2$ compactification have analogs for $\T^2$ compactification without vector structure. We analyze some of these issues and show, in particular, how orientifold planes associated with $Sp(n)$ gauge groups can arise from T-duality and how they can be interpreted in F-theory. We also, in an appendix, resolve a longstanding puzzle concerning the computation of $\Tr (-1)^F$ in four-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SO(n).

Quark hierarchies and CP violation from the Siegel modular group
A benchmark model using genus-2 modular invariance generates quark mass hierarchies and CP violation via moduli VEVs near invariant points, with mass ratios vanishing in the symmetric limit and mixing angles reproduced.

String probes, simple currents, and the no global symmetries conjecture
Chiral simple current extensions on the worldsheet reproduce and generalize obstructions to gauging center one-form symmetries in 6d and 8d string compactifications while clarifying BPS particle requirements upon circ...
