Quadrality for Supersymmetric Matrix Models

Sebastian Franco, Sangmin Lee, Rak-Kyeong Seong +1

We introduce a new duality for supersymmetric gauged matrix models. This duality is an order 4 symmetry, namely an equivalence between four different theories,…

Betti multiplets, flows across dimensions and c-extremization

Antonio Amariti, Chiara Toldo

We consider 4d N=1 SCFTs, topologically twisted on compact constant curvature Riemann surfaces, giving rise to 2d N=(0,2) SCFTs. The exact R-current of these 2d SCFT extremizes the…

Orbifold Reduction and 2d (0,2) Gauge Theories

Sebastian Franco, Sangmin Lee, Rak-Kyeong Seong

We introduce Orbifold Reduction, a new method for generating gauge theories associated to D1-branes probing singular toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds starting from $\math…

Brane Brick Models in the Mirror

Sebastian Franco, Sangmin Lee, Rak-Kyeong Seong +1

Brane brick models are Type IIA brane configurations that encode the gauge theories on the worldvolume of D1-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. We us…

Composition of many spins, random walks and statistics

Alexios P. Polychronakos, Konstantinos Sfetsos

The multiplicities of the decomposition of the product of an arbitrary number of spin states into irreducible representations are computed. Two complementary method…

Stratifying On-Shell Cluster Varieties: the Geometry of Non-Planar On-Shell Diagrams

Jacob L. Bourjaily, Sebastian Franco, Daniele Galloni +1

The correspondence between on-shell diagrams in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and cluster varieties in the Grassmannian remains largely unexplored beyond the planar li…

Notes on S-folds and theories

Prarit Agarwal, Antonio Amariti

We consider D3 branes in presence of an S-fold plane. The latter is a non perturbative object, arising from the combined projection of an S-duality twist and a discrete orbifold of…

The role of the spin connection in quantum Hall effect: A perspective from geometric quantization

Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair

The topological terms of the bulk effective action for the integer quantum Hall effect, capturing the dynamics of gauge and gravitational fluctuations, reveal a curiosity, namely,…

Phases of N=2 Necklace Quivers

Antonio Amariti, Domenico Orlando, Susanne Reffert

We classify the phases of N=2 elliptic models in terms of their global properties i.e. the spectrum of line operators. We show the agreement between the field theory and the M-theo…

The Geometry of Quantum Hall Effect: An Effective Action for all Dimensions

Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair

We present a general formula for the topological part of the effective action for quantum Hall systems in higher dimensions, including fluctuations of the gauge field and metric ar…

Line operators from M-branes on compact Riemann surfaces

Antonio Amariti, Domenico Orlando, Susanne Reffert

In this paper, we determine the charge lattice of mutually local Wilson and 't Hooft line operators for class S theories living on M5-branes wrapped on compact Riemann surfaces. Th…

Brane Brick Models and 2d (0,2) Triality

Sebastian Franco, Sangmin Lee, Rak-Kyeong Seong

We provide a brane realization of 2d (0,2) Gadde-Gukov-Putrov triality in terms of brane brick models. These are Type IIA brane configurations that are T-dual to D1-branes over sin…
