Spin(N) Magnetic Quivers
Mohammad Akhond, Sam Bennett, Amihay Hanany
This work introduces new magnetic quivers for Spin(N) gauge theories with hypermultiplets in spinor representations at both finite and infinite couplin…
Couch-Torrence conformal inversion, supersymmetry and conserved charges for D3-branes
Mohammad Akhond, Massimo Bianchi, Antonio Cristofaro +1
An asymptotically flat spacetime in can be mapped via Couch-Torrence conformal inversion to the geometry around an extremal non-expanding and non-rotating horizon. At the lin…
Generalised anomalies, QCD, and holography
Mohammad Akhond, Shigeki Sugimoto
During the last decade, the notion of an 't Hooft anomaly has been generalised to the case of discrete symmetries. An interesting instance, discussed by Tanizaki, is the mixed anom…
On brane systems with O planes -- 5d and 6d SCFTs
Mohammad Akhond, Guillermo Arias-Tamargo, Federico Carta +2
We study Higgs branches of field theories with 8 supercharges in 5 and 6 dimensions, focusing on theories realised on 5-brane webs in Type IIB with an O plane, or a D6-D8-NS5…
