We show that massless fields with large abelian charges (up to at least q = 21) can be constructed in 6D F-theory models with a U(1) gauge group. To show this, we explicitly construct F-theory Weierstrass models with nonabelian gauge groups that can be broken to U(1) theories with a variety of large charges. Determining the maximum abelian charge allowed in such a theory is key to eliminating what seems currently to be an infinite swampland of apparently consistent U(1) supergravity theories with large charges.

  1. A finite 6d supergravity landscape from anomalies

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Local and Dai-Freed global anomaly cancellation implies T ≤ 3003 and a finite 6d non-abelian supergravity landscape, with the extremal model [E8 x F4 x (G2 x SU(2))^2]^273.

  2. How to Falsify String Theory at a Collider

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Detection of an isolated SU(2)_L n-plet with n≥5 would falsify known string constructions; current LHC limits exclude such states up to 400-735 GeV depending on n.
