Orientifold limits of singular F-theory vacua

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 th...
