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…
Higgs branch RG-flows via Decay and Fission
Antoine Bourget, Marcus Sperling, Zhenghao Zhong
Magnetic quivers have been an instrumental technique for advancing our understanding of Higgs branches of supersymmetric theories with 8 supercharges. In this work, we present the…
Decay and Fission of Magnetic Quivers
Antoine Bourget, Marcus Sperling, Zhenghao Zhong
In exploring supersymmetric theories with 8 supercharges, the Higgs branches present an intriguing window into strong coupling dynamics. Magnetic quivers serve as crucial tools for…
A Tale of N Cones
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +3
We study particular families of bad 3d quiver gauge theories, whose Higgs branches consist of many cones. We show the role of a novel brane configuration in realizi…
3d mirror symmetry with 1-form symmetry
Satoshi Nawata, Marcus Sperling, Hao Ellery Wang +1
The study of 3d mirror symmetry has greatly enhanced our understanding of various aspects of 3d theories. In this paper, starting with known mirror pairs of 3d $\ma…
The Hasse Diagram of the Moduli Space of Instantons
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +1
Hasse diagrams (or phase diagrams) for moduli spaces of supersymmetric field theories have been intensively studied in recent years, and many tools to compute them have been develo…
Partial Implosions and Quivers
Antoine Bourget, Andrew Dancer, Julius F. Grimminger +2
We propose magnetic quivers for partial implosion spaces. Such partial implosions involve a choice of parabolic subgroup, with the Borel subgroup corresponding to the standard impl…
Higgs Branches of U/SU Quivers via Brane Locking
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +2
We solve a long standing problem on the computation of the Higgs branch of linear quivers with 8 supercharges and with both unitary and special unitary gauge nodes. T…
Magnetic quivers and line defects -- On a duality between 3d N=4 unitary and orthosymplectic quivers
Satoshi Nawata, Marcus Sperling, Hao Ellery Wang +1
Supersymmetric Sp(k) quantum chromodynamics with 8 supercharges in space-time dimensions 3 to 6 can be realised by two different Type II brane configurations in the presence of ori…
Balanced B and D-type orthosymplectic quivers -- Magnetic quivers for product theories
Marcus Sperling, Zhenghao Zhong
We investigate orthosymplectic quivers that take the shape of D-type and B-type Dynkin diagrams. The D-type orthosymplectic quivers explored here contain a balanced "fork", i.e., a…
Folding Orthosymplectic Quivers
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +3
Folding identical legs of a simply-laced quiver creates a quiver with a non-simply laced edge. So far, this has been explored for quivers containing unitary gauge groups. In this p…
Orthosymplectic Implosions
Antoine Bourget, Andrew Dancer, Julius F. Grimminger +3
We propose quivers for Coulomb branch constructions of universal implosions for orthogonal and symplectic groups, extending the work on special unitary groups in arXiv:2004.09620.…
Branes, Quivers, and the Affine Grassmannian
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +2
Brane systems provide a large class of gauge theories that arise in string theory. This paper demonstrates how such brane systems fit with a somewhat exotic geometric object, calle…
S-fold magnetic quivers
Antoine Bourget, Simone Giacomelli, Julius F. Grimminger +3
Magnetic quivers and Hasse diagrams for Higgs branches of rank 4d SCFTs arising from -fold constructions are discussed. The mag…
Magnetic Lattices for Orthosymplectic Quivers
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +3
For any gauge theory, there may be a subgroup of the gauge group which acts trivially on the matter content. While many physical observables are not sensitive to this fact, the ide…
Magnetic quivers for rank 1 theories
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +3
Magnetic quivers and Hasse diagrams for Higgs branches of rank 1 SCFTs are provided. These rank 1 theories fit naturally into families of higher rank theories,…
Magnetic Quivers from Brane Webs with O5 Planes
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany +2
Magnetic quivers have led to significant progress in the understanding of gauge theories with 8 supercharges at UV fixed points. For a given low-energy gauge theory realised via a…
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…
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…
