Orientifold limits of singular F-theory vacua

From MaRDI portal
Publication:823009




Abstract: We construct global orientifold limits of singular F-theory vacua whose associated gauge groups are SO(3), SO(5), SO(6), F4, SU(4), and Spin(7). For each limit we show a universal tadpole relation is satisfied, which is a homological identity whose dimension-zero component encodes the matching of the D3 charge between each F-theory compactification and its orientifold limit. While for smooth F-theory compactifications which admit global orientifold limits the contribution to the associated universal tadpole relation comes from its Chern class, we show that for all singular F-theory compactifications under consideration, the contribution to the universal tadpole relation comes from its emph{stringy} Chern class.
