Dual little strings from F-theory and flop transitions

Abstract A particular two-parameter class of little string theories can be described by M parallel M5-branes probing a transverse affine A N − 1 singularity. We previously discussed the duality between the theories labelled by (N, M) and (M, N). In this work, we propose that these two are in fact on...
