The s-Rule from Geometry
Sebastian Franco, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez
String Theory provides powerful tools for constructing and studying five-dimensional Quantum Field Theories, notably through geometric engineering and five-brane webs. Understandin…
Iterative Gauging is Deconstruction
Sebastian Franco, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez
A recent construction showed that iteratively gauging symmetries of a quantum field theory can generate an emergent extra spatial dimension. Here we identify the precise mechanism…
Towards Generalized Dimers for GTPs: Fractional Branes at Infinite Coupling
Sebastián Franco, Diego Rodríguez-Gómez
Generalized Toric Polygons (GTPs) extend the geometric realization of superconformal field theories beyond toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds to general 5-brane webs ending on 7…
On the Origin of Toric Diagrams
Sebastián Franco, Diego Rodríguez-Gómez
Five-dimensional superconformal field theories ( SCFTs) can be encoded by Generalized Toric Polygons (GTPs), where external legs of the dual five-brane web correspond t…
A Hilbert Series for Generalized Toric Polygons
Ignacio Carreño Bolla, Sebastián Franco, Diego Rodríguez-Gómez
We study the Hilbert series for Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs) engineered by Generalized Toric Polygons (GTPs), which extend the geometric realization of these theories…
The 5d Tangram: Brane Webs, 7-Branes and Primitive T-cones
Ignacio Carreño Bolla, Sebastián Franco, Diego Rodríguez-Gómez
Two highly successful approaches to constructing 5d SCFTs are geometric engineering using M-theory on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold and the use of 5-brane webs suspended from 7-branes in Typ…
Generalized Symmetries in 2D from String Theory: SymTFTs, Intrinsic Relativeness, and Anomalies of Non-invertible Symmetries
Sebastian Franco, Xingyang Yu
Generalized global symmetries, in particular non-invertible and categorical symmetries, have become a focal point in the recent study of quantum field theory (QFT). In this paper,…
The Geometry of GTPs and 5d SCFTs
Guillermo Arias-Tamargo, Sebastián Franco, Diego Rodríguez-Gómez
We make progress in understanding the geometry associated to the Generalized Toric Polygons (GTPs) encoding the Physics of 5d Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs), by exploiting t…
2d (0,2) Gauge Theories from Branes: Recent Progress in Brane Brick Models
Sebastián Franco
We discuss the realization of gauge theories in terms of branes focusing on Brane Brick Models, which are T-dual to D1-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. These b…
4d Crystal Melting, Toric Calabi-Yau 4-Folds and Brane Brick Models
Sebastián Franco
We introduce a class of 4-dimensional crystal melting models that count the BPS bound state of branes on toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. The crystalline structure is determined by the br…
Quiver Tails and Brane Webs
Sebastian Franco, Diego Rodriguez-Gomez
A new type of quiver theories, denoted twin quivers, was recently introduced for studying SCFTs engineered by webs of 5-branes ending on 7-branes. Twin quivers provide an alte…
