摘要
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 D-n and E(n) 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 A(n) groups.
