On exceptional instanton strings

Abstract According to a recent classification of 6d (1, 0) theories within F-theory there are only six “pure” 6d gauge theories which have a UV superconformal fixed point. The corresponding gauge groups are SU(3), SO(8), F 4 , E 6 , E 7, and E 8. These exceptional models have BPS strings which are a...
