Duality Cascades and Parallelotopes

Abstract

Duality cascades are a series of duality transformations in field theories, which can be realized as the Hanany-Witten transitions in brane configurations on a circle. In the setup of the ABJM theory and its generalizations, from the physical requirement that duality cascades always end and the final destination depends only on the initial brane configuration, we propose that the fundamental domain of supersymmetric brane configurations in duality cascades can tile the whole parameter space of relative ranks by translations, hence is a parallelotope. We provide our arguments for the proposal.
