5d SCFTs and Intersection Theory of Generalized Toric Threefolds
Hülya Argüz, Antoine Bourget, Pierrick Bousseau +2
Five-dimensional superconformal field theories are intrinsically strongly coupled fixed points that can be realized as M-theory on local Calabi-Yau threefolds with canonical singul…
5d Higgs Branches: Stratifications from Geometry
Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto, Julius Grimminger +1
Higgs Branches of 5d SCFTs are hyperkähler cones, symplectic varieties with interesting nested singularities governing the structure of possible Higgs branch RG flows. The main pur…
From Quivers to Geometry: 5d Conformal Matter
Antoine Bourget, Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto +2
We show that all 5d balanced (ADE-shaped) special unitary quivers with no Chern-Simons level admit a UV completion which is a 5d conformal matter SCFT. We give explicit local Calab…
Special Kähler geometries of superYang-Mills
Philip C. Argyres, Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger +2
The low energy effective theory on the moduli space of vacua of 4d superYang-Mills (sYM) theory defines a special Kähler geometry. For simple sYM gauge algebras, , we…
3d Mirrors and Phase Diagrams of Abelian Gauge Theories
Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany, Deshuo Liu
This paper presents new developments in the study of 3d mirror symmetry and the phase structure of Abelian gauge theories. Previous works identified 3d mirrors for a specific class…
Remarks on the Higgs Branch of 5d Conformal Matter
Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto, Julius F. Grimminger +1
Among the elementary building blocks in the atomic classification of 5d SCFTs there are 5d bifundamental conformal matter theories of various kinds. In this work we study the Higgs…
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…
Generalised-Edged Quivers and Global Forms
Julius F. Grimminger, William Harding, Noppadol Mekareeya
Non-simply laced quivers, despite the lack of complete Lagrangian descriptions, play an important role in characterising moduli spaces of supersymmetric field theories. Notably, th…
Wreathing, Discrete Gauging, and Non-invertible Symmetries
Julius F. Grimminger, William Harding, Noppadol Mekareeya
't Hooft anomalies of discrete global symmetries and gaugings thereof have rich mathematical structures and far-reaching physical consequences. We examine each subgroup , up to…
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…
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…
FI-flows of 3d N=4 Theories
Antoine Bourget, Simone Giacomelli, Julius F. Grimminger
We study the 3d RG-flows triggered by Fayet-Iliopoulos deformations in unitary quiver theories. These deformations can be implemented by a new quiver algorithm whic…
Fibrations and Hasse diagrams for 6d SCFTs
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger
We study the full moduli space of vacua of 6d worldvolume SCFTs on M5 branes probing an -type singularity, focusing on the geometric incarnation of the discrete gauging mechanis…
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 for rank 2 theories
Antoine Bourget, Julius F. Grimminger, Mario Martone +1
In this note we construct magnetic quivers for the known rank-2 four dimensional superconformal field theories. For every rank-1 theory one can find a unitary magne…
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…
