| Abstract: |
We construct small resolutions of singular elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds with a section. Inspired by M-theory compactification, the networks of resolutions have a natural correspondence with the Coulomb branches of 5D supersymmetric gauge theories. We compute the prepotentials of these 5D theories and discuss their 6D parents from anomaly cancellation. References: arXiv: 1402.6331, arXiv: 1407.1867. |
