Abstract: (arXiv)
We present several classes of new 6d string theories which arise via branes at orbifold singularities. They have compact moduli spaces, associated with tensor multiplets, given by Weyl alcoves of non-Abelian groups. We discuss T-duality and Matrix model applications upon compactification.Note:
