The subspace of the moduli space of F-theory on K3 over which the coupling remains constant develops new branches at special values of this coupling. These values correspond to fixed points under the SL(2,Z) duality group of the type IIB string. The branches contain points where K3 degenerates to orbifolds of the four-torus by Z_3,Z_4 and Z_6. A singularity analysis shows that exceptional group symmetries appear on these branches, including pure E_8 xE_8, although SO(32) cannot be realised in this way. The orbifold points can be mapped to a kind of non-perturbative generalization of a IIB orientifold, and to M-theory orbifolds with non-trivial action on 2-brane wrapping modes.

Extremal couplings, graviton exchange, and gluon scattering in AdS
Extremal bulk couplings between graviton and gluon modes are computed in F-theory AdS/CFT, yielding the graviton exchange term and a complete 1/N² correlator for the D4 theory.

Testing F-theory GUTs with the Axiverse
In F-theory GUTs, non-universal ALPs induced by hypercharge flux satisfy g_aγ/m_a well below the QCD axion prediction when gauge couplings unify near the string scale.
