Non-toric bases for elliptic Calabi–Yau threefolds and 6D F-theory vacua

We develop a combinatorial approach to the construction of general smooth compact base surfaces that support elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds. This extends previous analyses that have relied on toric or semi-toric structure. The resulting algorithm is used to construct all classes of such base surface...
