Abstract

We study F-theory on elliptic threefold Calabi-Yau near colliding singularities. We demonstrate that resolutions of those singularities generically lead to a new phase of the theory characterized by new tensor multiplets and enhanced gauge symmetry. The transition point is governed by the dynamics of tensionless strings.
