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…
