Complex Symplectic Contractions and 3d Mirrors

Andrew Dancer, Julius F. Grimminger, Johan Martens +1

We propose magnetic quivers for the complex-symplectic contraction spaces, which are related to implosions and have a natural interpretation in terms of the Moore-Tachikawa categor…

Magnetic Quivers, Higgs Branches, and 6d N=(1,0) Theories -- Orthogonal and Symplectic Gauge Groups

Santiago Cabrera, Amihay Hanany, Marcus Sperling

M5 branes on a D-type ALE singularity display various phenomena that introduce additional massless degrees of freedom. The M5 branes are known to fractionate on a D-type singularit…

Brane Webs and Magnetic Quivers for SQCD

Antoine Bourget, Santiago Cabrera, Julius F. Grimminger +2

It is widely considered that the classical Higgs branch of 4d SQCD is a well understood object. However there is no satisfactory understanding of its structure. The…

The Higgs Mechanism -- Hasse Diagrams for Symplectic Singularities

Antoine Bourget, Santiago Cabrera, Julius F. Grimminger +4

We explore the geometrical structure of Higgs branches of quantum field theories with 8 supercharges in 3, 4, 5 and 6 dimensions. They are symplectic singularities, and as such adm…

Magnetic Quivers, Higgs Branches, and 6d N=(1,0) Theories

Santiago Cabrera, Amihay Hanany, Marcus Sperling

The physics of M5 branes placed near an M9 plane on an A-type ALE singularity exhibits a variety of phenomena that introduce additional massless degrees of freedom. There are tensi…

Minimally Unbalanced Quivers

Santiago Cabrera, Amihay Hanany, Anton Zajac

We develop a classification of \emph{minimally unbalanced} quiver gauge theories. These gauge theories are important because the isometry group of their Coul…

Tropical Geometry and Five Dimensional Higgs Branches at Infinite Coupling

Santiago Cabrera, Amihay Hanany, Futoshi Yagi

Superconformal five dimensional theories have a rich structure of phases and brane webs play a crucial role in studying their properties. This paper is devoted to the study of a th…

Quiver Theories and Formulae for Slodowy Slices of Classical Algebras

Santiago Cabrera, Amihay Hanany, Rudolph Kalveks

We utilise SUSY quiver gauge theories to compute properties of Slodowy slices; these are spaces transverse to the nilpotent orbits of a Lie algebra . We analyse classe…

Quiver Subtractions

Santiago Cabrera, Amihay Hanany

We study the vacuum structure of gauge theories with eight supercharges. It has been recently discovered that in the Higgs branch of and SQCD theories with eight supercha…

Branes and the Kraft-Procesi transition: classical case

Santiago Cabrera, Amihay Hanany

Moduli spaces of a large set of effective gauge theories are known to be closures of nilpotent orbits. This set of theories has recently acquired a special sta…

Nilpotent orbits and the Coulomb branch of theories: special orthogonal vs orthogonal gauge group factors

Santiago Cabrera, Amihay Hanany, Zhenghao Zhong

Coulomb branches of a set of supersymmetric gauge theories are closures of nilpotent orbits of the algebra . From the point of view of string…

Branes and the Kraft-Procesi Transition

Santiago Cabrera, Amihay Hanany

The Coulomb and Higgs branches of certain 3d N=4 gauge theories can be understood as closures of nilpotent orbits. Recently, a new theorem by Namikawa suggests that this is the sim…
