Abstract

The past few years have seen a surge of interest in six-dimensional superconformal field theories (6D SCFTs).  Notably, 6D SCFTs have recently been classified using F-theory, which relates these theories to elliptically-fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds.  Classes of 6D SCFTs have remarkable connections to structures in group theory and therefore provide a physical link between two seemingly-unrelated mathematical objects.  In this talk, we describe this link and speculate on its implications for future studies of 6D SCFTs.
