  • Abstract
    We study some aspects of enhanced gauge symmetries in F-theory compactified on K3. We find open string configurations connecting various 7-branes which represent stable BPS states. In this approach we recover Dn and En gauge groups previously found from an analysis of singularities of the moduli space of elliptically fibered K3 manifolds as well as examples of non-perturbative realizations of An groups.
