DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/GPL/40/">Hig
 gsing on SU(N) Symmetric Matter and its F-theory Realization</a>\nby Andre
 w P. Turner (Virginia Tech (USA)) as part of Geometry and Physics @ Lisbon
 \n\nLecture held in 6.2.33 (Seminar Room\, Math\, FCUL).\n\nAbstract\nF-th
 eory is a powerful framework for studying string compactifications that en
 codes many of the details of the physical theory in the geometry of a sing
 ular elliptically fibered Calabi–Yau manifold. In the first part of this
  talk\, I will provide an introduction to F-theory\, discussing the motiva
 tion for this construction and the mathematical techniques used to analyze
  F-theory vacua. I will then describe recent work on the explicit realizat
 ion within F-theory of the Higgsing of an SU(N) gauge theory on symmetric 
 matter\, primarily exploiting heterotic/F-theory duality. The new models a
 nalyzed in this work provide explicit counterexamples to several long-stan
 ding assumptions about the physical interpretation of the Mordell–Weil g
 roup of the elliptic fibration.\n
