M-theory geometries from five-brane webs, seven-branes, and T-branes
Andrés Collinucci
We track the chain of dualities relating five-brane webs in Type IIB to M-theory on noncompact Calabi-Yau threefolds, and follow the effect of adding seven-branes. T-dualiz…
D2-brane probes of non-toric cDV threefolds via monopole superpotentials
Andrés Collinucci, Marina Moleti, Roberto Valandro
We develop a framework to construct worldvolume gauge theories on D2-branes probing compound Du Val (cDV) Calabi-Yau threefold singularities. By viewing these singularities as ADE…
Non-toric 5d SCFTs from Reid's Pagoda
Andrés Collinucci, Fabrizio Del Monte, Mario De Marco +2
We construct new families of non-toric 5d SCFTs via abelian orbifolds of the Reid Pagoda, including a surprising infinite family of rank-1 theories, that evade all known classifica…
Generalized Toric Polygons, T-branes, and 5d SCFTs
Antoine Bourget, Andrés Collinucci, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
5d Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs) are intrinsically strongly-coupled UV fixed points, whose realization hinges on string theoretic methods: they can be constructed by compac…
Flops of any length, Gopakumar-Vafa invariants, and 5d Higgs Branches
Andrés Collinucci, Mario De Marco, Andrea Sangiovanni +1
The conifold is a basic example of a noncompact Calabi-Yau threefold that admits a simple flop, and in M-theory, gives rise to a 5d hypermultiplet at low energies, realized by an M…
Higgs branches of 5d rank-zero theories from geometry
Andrés Collinucci, Mario De Marco, Andrea Sangiovanni +1
We study the Higgs branches of five-dimensional N=1 rank-zero theories obtained from M-theory on two classes non-toric non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds: Reid's pagodas, and Laufer…
