| contents | We study $6$d $\mathcal{N} = (1,0)$ supergravity theories arising in the frozen phase of F-theory. For each of the known global models, we construct an F-theory compactification in the unfrozen phase with an identical non-abelian gauge algebra and massless matter content. Two such low energy effective theories are then distinguished through gauge enhancements in moduli space. We study potentially new global models obtained via compact embeddings of a plethora of $6$d $\mathcal{N}= (1,0)$ superconformal field theories and little string theories constructed using frozen $7$-branes. In some cases, these provably do not exist, and in other cases, we explicitly construct a compact embedding, yielding $6$d supergravity theories with new massless spectra. Finally, by using gravitational anomaly cancellation, we conjecture the existence of localized neutral hypermultiplets along frozen $7$-brane loci. |
