Discrete gauge groups in certain F-theory models in six dimensions

Abstract We construct six-dimensional (6D) F-theory models in which discrete ℤ5, ℤ4, ℤ3, and ℤ2 gauge symmetries arise. We demonstrate that a special family of “Fano 3-folds” is a useful tool for constructing the aforementioned models. The geometry of Fano 3-folds in the constructions of models can...
