Deconstructing (2,0) and Little String Theories
read the original abstract
We argue that two four-dimensional strongly coupled superconformal field theories, on the Higgs branch in certain large N limits, become respectively (2,0) theory and (1,1) little string theory in six dimensions. We identify the spectrum of states responsible for the generation of the two extra dimensions and string winding modes. We establish the equivalence using orbifold realizations of the field theories and exploiting string dualities. We also speculate on deconstructions of M-theory.

Big Axions
Big axions are axion models from collective spontaneous breaking of a delocalized network of U(1) symmetries that realize high-quality accidental global symmetries, solve the strong CP problem, and may explain dark matter.
