We demonstrate the presence of non-invertible symmetries in an infinite family of superconformal Argyres-Douglas theories. This class of theories arises from diagonal gauging of the flavor symmetry of a collection of multiple copies of Dp(SU(N)) theo...

A tale of 2-groups: Dp(USp(2N)) theories (2023)
Journal Article
Carta, F., Giacomelli, S., Mekareeya, N., & Mininno, A. (2023). A tale of 2-groups: Dp(USp(2N)) theories. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023(6), Article 102. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep06%282023%29102

A 1-form symmetry and a 0-form symmetry may combine to form an extension known as the 2-group symmetry. We find the presence of the latter in a class of Argyres-Douglas theories, called Dp(USp(2N)), which can be realized by ℤ2-twisted compactificatio...

Dynamical consequences of 1-form symmetries and the exceptional Argyres-Douglas theories (2022)
Journal Article

Higher-form symmetries have proved useful in constraining the dynamics of a number of quantum field theories. In the context of the Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories of the (G, G0 ) type, we find that the 1-form symmetries are invariant under the Higgs b...

In this article, we present a classification for the divisor topologies of the projective complete intersection Calabi-Yau (pCICY) 3-folds realized as hypersurfaces in the product of complex projective spaces.

We study the Higgs branch of the SCFT limit of 5d SO(6) and SO(8) gauge theory with hypermultiplets in the spinor and vector representations. In the case of SO(6) gauge theories, we contrast the magnetic quivers obtained with those of SU(4) gauge the... Read More about Exploring the orthosymplectic zoo.

The Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories of type (Dn, Dm), realized by type IIB geometrical engineering on a single hypersurface singularity, are studied.

We elucidate various aspects of the physics of thraxions, ultra-light axions arising at Klebanov-Strassler multi-throats in the compactification space of IIB superstring theory. We study the combined stabilization of Kähler moduli and thraxions, show... Read More about Thraxions: towards full string models.

Magnetic quivers from brane webs with O7+-planes (2021)

We consider the Higgs branch of 5d fixed points engineered using brane webs with an O7+-plane. We use the brane construction to propose a set of rules to extract the corresponding magnetic quivers. Such magnetic quivers are generically framed non-sim... Read More about Magnetic quivers from brane webs with O7+-planes.

In flux compactifications of type IIB string theory with D3 and seven-branes, the negative induced D3 charge localized on seven-branes leads to an apparently pathological profile of the metric sufficiently close to the source. With the volume modulus... Read More about Resolving spacetime singularities in flux compactifications & KKLT.

We propose a combined mechanism to realize both winding inflation and de Sitter uplifts. We realize the necessary structure of competing terms in the scalar potential not via tuning the vacuum expectation values of the complex structure moduli, but b...
