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 pu…
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…
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…
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, , w…
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…
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…
