When rational sections become cyclic — Gauge enhancement in F-theory via Mordell-Weil torsion
Abstract We explore novel gauge enhancements from abelian to non-simply-connected gauge groups in F-theory. To this end we consider complex structure deformations of elliptic fibrations with a Mordell-Weil group of rank one and identify the conditions under which the generating section becomes torsi...
