Elliptic curves (14H52) Applications of Lie (super)algebras to physics, etc. (17B81) Infinite-dimensional groups and algebras motivated by physics, including Virasoro, Kac-Moody, (W)-algebras and other current algebras and their representations (81R10) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)

Abstract: Elliptic curves for the 7-brane configurations realizing the affine Lie algebras $wh{E}_n$ $(1leqnleq8)$ and $wh{wtE}_n$ $(n=0,1)$ are systematically derived from the cubic equation for a rational elliptic surface. It is then shown that the $wh{E}_n$ 7-branes describe the discriminant locus of the elliptic curves for five-dimensional (5D) N=1 $E_n$ theories compactified on a circle. This is in accordance with a recent construction of 5D N=1 $E_n$ theories on the IIB 5-brane web with 7-branes, and indicates the validity of the D3 probe picture for 5D $E_n$ theories on $$. Using the $wh{E}_n$ curves we also study the compactification of 5D $E_n$ theories to four dimensions.
