The global gauge group structure of F-theory compactification with U(1)s

Abstract We show that F-theory compactifications with abelian gauge factors generally exhibit a non-trivial global gauge group structure. The geometric origin of this structure lies with the Shioda map of the Mordell-Weil generators. This results in constraints on the u1 $$ \mathfrak{u}(1) $$ charge...
