Factorised 3d orthosymplectic quivers
Mohammad Akhond, Federico Carta, Siddharth Dwivedi +3
We study the moduli space of 3d quiver gauge theories with unitary, orthogonal and symplectic gauge nodes, that fall into exceptional sequences. We find that both t…

Five-brane webs, Higgs branches and unitary/orthosymplectic magnetic quivers
Mohammad Akhond, Federico Carta, Siddharth Dwivedi +3
We study the Higgs branch of 5d superconformal theories engineered from brane webs with orientifold five-planes. We propose a generalization of the rules to derive magnetic quivers…

Phases of QCD from Type 0 Strings and Seiberg Duality
Mohammad Akhond, Adi Armoni, Stefano Speziali
We propose an embedding of QCD with a Chern-Simons term in string theory. The UV gauge theory lives on the worldvolume of a Hanany-Witten brane configuration in type 0…
