5d and 4d SCFTs: Canonical Singularities, Trinions and S-Dualities
Cyril Closset, Simone Giacomelli, Sakura Schafer-Nameki +1
Canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory give rise to superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively. In this paper, we study cano…
(5d RG-flow) Trees in the Tropical Rain Forest
Marieke van Beest, Antoine Bourget, Julius Eckhard +1
5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) can be obtained from 6d SCFTs by circle compactification and mass deformation. Successive decoupling of hypermultiplet matter and RG-flow g…
Higher-form symmetries of 6d and 5d theories
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
We describe general methods for determining higher-form symmetry groups of known 5d and 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs), and 6d little string theories (LSTs). The 6d theor…
(Symplectic) Leaves and (5d Higgs) Branches in the Poly(go)nesian Tropical Rain Forest
Marieke van Beest, Antoine Bourget, Julius Eckhard +1
We derive the structure of the Higgs branch of 5d superconformal field theories or gauge theories from their realization as a generalized toric polygon (or dot diagram). This appro…
Coulomb and Higgs Branches from Canonical Singularities: Part 0
Cyril Closset, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, Yi-Nan Wang
Five- and four-dimensional superconformal field theories with eight supercharges arise from canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory, respectively.…
Higher-Form Symmetries in 5d
David R. Morrison, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, Brian Willett
We study higher-form symmetries in 5d quantum field theories, whose charged operators include extended operators such as Wilson line and 't Hooft operators. We outline criteria for…
Trifectas for in 5d
Julius Eckhard, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, Yi-Nan Wang
The trinions are a class of 5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) realized as M-theory on . We apply to $T_N…
