We systematically consider heterotic SO(32) and E8 x E8 compactifications on K3 with Abelian and non-Abelian backgrounds as well as an arbitrary number of five-branes. The masses of the U(1) factors depend on the first Chern classes of the bundles and some combinatorial factors specifying the embedding in SO(32) or E8. The form of the generalised Green-Schwarz counter-terms in six dimensions constrains the possible heterotic five-brane actions. Some supersymmetric examples on K3 realisations as toric complete intersection spaces with up to three explicit two-forms are given.

  1. Categorified structures over moduli spaces: Anomalies, non-invertible symmetries, and exceptional holonomy

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper conjectures that non-invertible Ising and tricritical Ising symmetries organize closed string states and D-brane categories into categorical bundles over moduli spaces of exceptional holonomy compactifications.

  2. Six-dimensional gauge theories and (twisted) generalized cohomology

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Combining an abelianized Yang-Mills field with its dual in 6D N=(1,0) supergravity yields a class in twisted K-theory, with the B-field as twist.
