We consider the interpretation in classical geometry of conformal field theories constructed from orbifolds with discrete torsion. In examples we can analyze, these spacetimes contain ``stringy regions'' that from a classical point of view are singularities that are to be neither resolved nor blown up. Some of these models also give particularly simple and clear examples of mirror symmetry.

  1. Higher Gauging and Non-invertible Condensation Defects

    hep-th 2022-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Higher gauging of 1-form symmetries on surfaces in 2+1d QFT yields condensation defects whose fusion rules involve 1+1d TQFTs and realizes every 0-form symmetry in TQFTs.

  2. Quiver Approach to Symmetry Theories

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    An algebraic method using the path algebra of quivers extracts symmetry anomaly data for 5D SCFTs engineered from M-theory on Calabi-Yau cones.

  3. Kac-Moody algebras from M5-giants

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The single-sum giant graviton expansion of ADHM Higgs indices is proposed to encode, in two fugacity limits, the vacuum characters of the affine Kac-Moody algebras \ hat su(l)_1^{\ times m} and \ hat su(l)_m.

  4. A Perturbatively Stable Non-Supersymmetric String Model with AdS Vacuum

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A non-supersymmetric type II string model is constructed with a tachyon-free spectrum and a one-loop vacuum that is perturbatively stable at the self-dual point.

  5. Non-Invertible Symmetries as Condensation Defects in Finite-Group Gauge Theories

    cond-mat.str-el 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-invertible symmetries in finite-group gauge theories are realized as condensation defects, with a complete Z_N dictionary and new automorphism symmetry expressions.

  6. Heterotic Strings on Enriques Surfaces

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Classifies shift vectors for heterotic orbifolds on Enriques surfaces, analyzes spectra, and interprets some models as non-supersymmetric 10D heterotic compactifications with tachyon projection.

  7. A Crash Course in Supersymmetric Field Theory Across Dimensions

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Pedagogical crash-course notes on supersymmetric field theory across 2–10 dimensions, organized around recurring structures such as holomorphy, dualities, indices, BPS data, and anomalies.
