Chiral rings for surface operators in 4d and 5d SQCD
arXiv:1811.04901 · doi:10.1007/JHEP01(2019)159
Abstract
Chiral rings of two-dimensional (2,2) theories coupled to 4d theories with matter hypermultiplets are studied. Specifically, the vacua of the twisted superpotential of the 2d theories with vanishing sum of matter charges are computed by considering the resolvent of the bulk theory. The solutions to the chiral ring equations are also obtained from the instanton partition function via Higgsing for simple surface operators and via the orbifold description for full surface operators. These 2d/4d coupled theories are lifted to 3d/5d theories and vacua are found similarly in two different methods: by solving the 3d chiral ring equations taking into account the effect of 5d resolvent and by computing the 5d instanton partition function in the presence of a surface operator. We also check the Seiberg-like duality for both 2d/4d and 3d/5d coupled systems with a specific Chern-Simons coefficient for the latter.
