We relate Type IIB superstrings compactified to six dimensions on K3 to an eleven-dimensional theory compactified on $({\bf S}^1)^5/{\bf Z}_2$. Eleven-dimensional five-branes enter the story in an interesting way.

  1. From Quivers to Geometry: 5d Conformal Matter

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    All 5d balanced (ADE-shaped) SU quivers with no Chern-Simons level have UV completions as 5d conformal matter SCFTs realized by explicit local Calabi-Yau threefolds in M-theory.

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Anomaly cancellation for specific multiplet numbers in conformal supergravities implies divergences proportional to n_v+2 in 4d PSG and n_T-21 in 6d PSG.
