Elliptic fibrations for F-theory geometric engineering

String phenomenology aims to explain the physics of the universe in the context of string theory, the leading candidate to unify gravitational and quantum physics. A main ingredient in constructing such models is compactifying the ten-dimensional theory on a six-dimensional manifold, so that one is...
