The quantization law for the antisymmetric tensor field of $M$-theory contains a gravitational contribution not known previously. When it is included, the low energy effective action of $M$-theory, including one-loop and Chern-Simons contributions, is well-defined. The relation of $M$-theory to the $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string greatly facilitates the analysis.

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0

    Small-volume regimes of flop curves in 4d N=1 F-theory require non-perturbative states—blow-up moduli and D3-string excitations—to complete the locally enhanced N=2 spectrum.

    hep-th 2021-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    At large complex structure in F-theory, the F-term potential simplifies to V = Z^{AB} ρ_A ρ_B, yielding two families of flux vacua with all complex structure moduli fixed, one with bounded saxion vevs and one with unb...

  7. 2-Group global symmetry in the compactified M2-brane

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Wess–Zumino coupling of the compactified M2-brane forces its monopole 0-form and winding 1-form symmetries into a 2-group whose Postnikov class is the mixed quantized flux.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Under the Emergent String Conjecture, the logarithm of any principal tower mass has a moduli-space Laplacian eigenvalue quantized to N/(D-d) for KK towers and N/2 for string oscillators, equal to the instanton-weighte...

  9. What makes spacetime spin in string theory?

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    GSO projection consistency in Type II string theory requires the target space X to admit a spin structure (or G-equivariant spin structure for orbifolds), identified by computing the mixed bordism group Ω₃^spin(Bℤ₂ × ...

  10. Continuous symmetries and charge measurement of boundary operators in holography

    Continuous symmetry operators in holography are U-shaped hanging brane bound states (D5-KK in Type IIB, M5-KK in M-theory) whose worldvolume couplings reproduce the Gauss-law symmetry operators and measure charges of ...

  11. Anomaly-induced vanishing of brane partition functions

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    Anomalies imply vanishing brane partition functions; this yields unified derivations of the Freed-Witten and M5 shifted-quantization conditions and new S-fold D3-brane constraints.
