AB  - We use freely acting asymmetric orbifolds of type IIB string theory to construct a class of theories in four dimensions with eight supercharges. Their low energy effective field theories resemble STU models, but have different duality groups: the orbifold’s free action reduce the duality groups to congruence subgroups of the modular group. The fundamental domain is consequently larger and contains new interesting points at infinite distance on the real axis bounding the upper half plane. We verify that the distance conjectures hold in the non-geometric compactification of string theory studied here. In particular, we find points at infinite distance in moduli space at which the theory decompactifies to a different orbifold construction.

Note to staff:  Adding new publications to a research group

  1. Log in to Symplectic.
  2. Click on Menu > Create Links
  3. Choose what you want to create links between – in this case ‘Publications’ and ‘Organisational structures’.
  4. Choose the organisational structure (research group) into which you want to link the publications and check the box next to it.
  5. Now check the box of any publication you want to add to that group. You can use the filters to find what you want and select multiple publications if necessary. 
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue ‘Create new link’ button to link them.
  7. The publications will be added to the group, and will be displayed on the group publications feed within 24 hours (it is not immediate).

Any problems, talk to Tim Evans or the Faculty Web Team.
