Abstract

We study the macroscopics of 2d N = (0, 4) SCFTs arising from F-theory constructions. The class of 2d SCFTs we consider live on black strings which are obtained by wrapping D3-branes on a curve in the base of a possibly singular elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefold. In addition, we allow the D3-branes to probe ALE or ALF spaces transversely. We compute anomaly coefficients of these SCFTs by determining Chern- Simons terms in the 3d action resulting from the reduction of 6d N = (1, 0) supergravity on the compact space surrounding the black string. Essential contributions to these coefficients are from one-loop induced Chern-Simons terms arising from integrating out massive Kaluza-Klein modes.
