On the torus compactifications of Z 2 orbifolds of E-string theories
Abstract We consider the torus compactifications with flux of a class of 6d (1, 0) SCFTs that can be engineered as the low-energy theories on M5-branes near an M9-plane on a C 2 / Z 2 singularity. Specifically, we concentrate on the two SCFTs where the Z 2 orbifold action acts non-trivially on the E...
